Chelsea should be stripped of every trophy they won with Roman Abramovich’s cash, according to football pundit Stan Collymore.The former England striker said the UK Government’s decision to freeze the oligarch’s assets over his links to Russian warmonger Vladimir Putin called into question all the club’s achievements during Abramovich’s two-decade ownership.If Chelsea’s success was built on access to "dodgy" money how could the 21 trophies won with Roman’s roubles be allowed to stand, he asked.Collymore, 51, who played for a string of top clubs including Liverpool, Leicester and Aston Villa before becoming a TV and radio pundit, said punishment should be retrospective as it would be for offences such as doping and match-fixing.He said though Abramovich, 55, legally took control of the club he had been sanctioned for his historic support of Putin therefore it was logical to consider retro penalties.It was "the only way for English football to restore sanity", Collymore added.He tweeted: "So the question now needs to be asked if Chelsea's loans, access to 'dodgy' money and sanctions against its primary source of funds for 20 years is now rubber-stamped how can titles won in this period stand?"The British Government only knew Abramovich was a Putin accolyte today?
