Cleaned through billions of money in Chelsea.

Did he? He lost money all throughout his ownership and last I heard still didn't have access to the sale proceeds. Plus rumor is he wasn't even allowed within the country for the last few years.

I don't think Roman "sportswashed" because I don't think he was trying to clean up his public persona, but instead wanted to have assets outside of Putin's control in case things went bad. And at least to date that plan backfired.
