LYON, Nov 2 (Reuters) - Olympique Lyon's Czech forward Milan Baros was caught speeding at 271 kph in his Ferrari, a club source confirmed on Friday.
Local newspaper
Le Progres quoted police as saying the
former Liverpool player had broken the record for speeding for
that French region, set by a motorcyclist who reached 248 kph in
2000.
Baros was driving on a motorway not far from Lyon on
Thursday when he was caught by French police, who confiscated
the black Ferrari and took his driving licence.
The 26-year-old, sidelined by an injury, had to take a taxi
back to Lyon. He faces a heavy fine and a three-year driving
ban.
