Ballack charged with speeding


Spanish police said Thursday they caught former Germany captain and Chelsea star Michael Ballack speeding on a highway in Spain -- reportedly at 211 kilometres (131 miles) per hour.
"He was detained for excessive speed yesterday afternoon (Wednesday)," near the town of Trujillo in eastern Spain, a civil guard spokesman in the nearby city of Caceres told AFP by telephone.
A court official in Trujillo said Ballack, 36, went before a local judge on Thursday morning and challenged the charges, meaning he will be summoned to appear before a judge in a Caceres criminal court at a later date.
