Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema has been fined $23,400 and had his drivers license revoked for eight months for reckless driving.
Benzema was sentenced Friday by a Madrid court after requesting a change in the court date from March 26, with France set to play a World Cup qualifier against Spain in Paris that day.
Benzema was caught driving 134 mph in a 62 mph zone in the Spanish capital on Feb. 3.
France and Spain both have seven points at the top of their qualifying group for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
