Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez has been fined after pleading guilty to speeding.

The Argentina international was clocked driving at 38 mph (61 kph) in a 30 mph (48 kph) zone shortly after his team's home draw with Birmingham in the Premier League last November.

Tevez was fined 60 pounds ($95) and ordered to pay court costs of 35 pounds ($55).

However, prosecutors dropped a charge against Tevez of failing to disclose the identity of the driver of his Bentley in a separate incident on Feb. 12.
