Aesthetic Relic 301 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Football 365 PIZARRO REFUTES `AGENT` CLAIMS Chelsea striker Claudio Pizarro insists he has done nothing wrong amid reports he could face a two-year ban for acting as an agent. The Peruvian, currently on a season-long loan at Bundesliga side Werder Bremen, is being investigated for his involvement in the deal which saw Bremen sign his compatriot Roberto Silva in 2001. It is against FIFA rules for an active player to act as an agent, and - in the worst case scenario - Pizarro could be banned for 24 months. Bremen chairman Jurgen L Born is also suspected of having profited from the deal and has stepped down from his post while the investigation takes place. But Pizarro claims he is innocent and is not letting the reports get to him ahead of Wednesday night's UEFA Cup last-16 second leg at St Etienne. "It is a load of rubbish," said the 30-year-old, who spent two years at Bremen from 1999. "The whole thing does not bother me on the pitch at all. "Peru is a great, beautiful country, but unfortunately there are people there who are angry. They don't like it when somebody is successful so they get jealous. "This has been going on for four years." :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We Hate Scouse 10,332 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Might make it difficult for us to sell him unfortunately Surely we could just sack him with no compensation like we did with Mutu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
