(Reuters) - Spain's LaLiga president Javier Tebas has said teams in the Premier League are "financially doped" after they spent a record $1 billion in the January transfer window and outspent the rest of Europe’s ‘big five’ leagues by almost four to one.

According to Tebas, the teams in English football's top division make multi-million dollar losses and UEFA should intervene to enforce financial fair play rules.
