The formerGerman football captain Michael Ballack has been banned from driving for 18 months and fined $13,000 after he was clocked speeding at 211 kilometres per hour on a Spanish highway in October.
The 36-year-old former Bayern Munich and Chelsea midfielder, who announced his retirement a couple of weeks before the incident, was driving his Audi Q7 at almost twice the speed limit of 120 kms per hour.
Ballack, who was also ordered to pay the costs of the trial, has five days to lodge an appeal.
