Baros caught in speed trap
LYON, France (AFP) — Czech international striker Milan Baros was clocked doing 271 kilometres an hour (168 miles an hour) in his Ferrari on a motorway east of here on Thursday, police sources said on Friday.
Baros, who currently plays for French champions Lyon, had his car confiscated and his driving license suspended. He will appear before a magistrate to answer the charges and faces a three-year ban.
"The policeman involved had to have a second look at the radar control because he could hardly believe how fast the car was going," police officer Claude Loron told AFP.
"It was a record speed violation for this county," he added. The speed limit for the motorway is 130 kilometres an hour.
