Reus fined big for driving crazy

BORUSSIA Dortmund and Germany winger Marco Reus has been fined more than half a million euros for driving without a license for years.

The 25-year-old, who has been advertising the club’s car sponsor and has also been in ads for a petrol company, received speeding tickets on at least five occasions since 2011 before authorities realized he had been driving without a license ever since.

“I decided back then to take that road but the reasons I did it are something I cannot really understand today,” Reus, a transfer target for many top European clubs, was quoted as telling Bild newspaper on Wednesday.

Dortmund’s prosecutor’s office said the fine was 540,000 euros (US$664,848) related to incidents from 2011 until this March.

The club said it had discussed the matter with the player who said he had made a “stupid” mistake. Reus is currently out with an ankle injury.
