Colombian soccer club free to play in U.S. after cutting drug ties
Apr 3rd 2013, 18:38

Fans of the America team chant from the stands as their team walks onto the pitch at Pascual Guerrero stadium in Cali March 1, 2009. Colombian soccer champions America de Cali are first to admit cocaine dollars had a hand in their sporting heyday. But after years of paying the price, they're trying to wipe the slate clean. The Red Devils became mired in financial troubles after their drug lord patrons in the Cali Cartel were jailed in 1995, ending a windfall of ill-gotten wealth that helped the club assemble one of South America's best and priciest lineups. Picture taken on March 1, 2009.
