Two years missing earnings - I don't think he was getting paid anywhere near £9 million for two years work - not even Graham Norton gets that salary according to his financial records to companies house shows - part of that £9 million is for missing earnings, but I suspect the largest chunk is the settlement that they agreed with the BBC to keep this quiet and move on.

It's worth noting that loss of work will have included non-TV stuff. 

I imagine like many former sport stars he also did after dinner speaking and corporate gigs, which are nice little earners. There may be also have been sponsorship and advertisement deals.
