A leading American sportsman is willing to turn down a $200million contract because of a clause in the deal which would force him to shave off his beard.
David Price is one of the best pitchers in baseball and is expected to to land the ?130m long-term deal his current contract with the Tampa Bay Rays expires in 2015.
His best chances of a record payout is by working out a financial settlement with the traditionally big-spending New York Yankees.
But they maintain a strict policy which commands players are clean shaven with do not have long hair.
Price, 27, isn?t impressed by rules like that and he is prepared to take his chances elsewhere even if it means a smaller contact.
He said: ?I wouldn?t sign a long-term deal there. Those rules, that?s old-school baseball. I was born in ?85. That?s not for me. That?s not something I want to be a part of.?
