Former Chelsea striker Adrian Mutu has denied reports he was blocked from gaining a visa at the Indian embassy in Bucharest after arriving to the appointment drunk.
The 35 year-old former Chelsea striker, who in 2004 admitted playing for the Blues with cocaine in his system, signed for FC Pune City in September but missed the club's opening match after failing to secure the document required to enter the country.
But Mutu has hit out at suggestions he was under the influence of alcohol.
Accompanied by a picture of his visa, which dates back to Friday, he tweeted: "I do not understand !! As a newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport write a little lie like that without verifying the information."
