When Milan Baros isn’t striking home goals for Lyon or the Czech National team, he is speeding in his Ferrari. French Police caught the goal scorer cruising along a motorway going 271 kph. For those of us who don’t know how fast that is we’re talking about 168 mph.

Their are some interesting notes about this story that seem to be more than amusing. The facts get better as the story goes on :
1. Milan Baros broke the speeding record for the French region which was previously held by a motorcyclist who went 241 kph back 2000.
2. Baros is currently injured and has not participated in any Lyon games since October 2nd.
3. Baros will probably face a huge fine that could include a three-year driving ban.
4. Milan Baros took a taxi back into the city of Lyon as both his Black Ferrari and his drivers license were confiscated.

Someone could have been seriously hurt in this incident as the people of Lyon must feel scared to even walk to a market as long as Baros is playing for Lyon. Will this affect the playing time of Baros and his reputation? Maybe, but as long as Baros continues to get paid and score goals for the Czezh National team, I don’t think a lot of people will hold it against him. I mean come on, what is a guy from the Czech Republic supposed to do in France when he is not scoring goals? Paint pictures? Go to a museum? Ride a bike? Speeding 168mph in a Ferrari?
