City fined £35,000 for anti-doping admin error

[BLS]

Did you hear about the Titanic ??

Fuck no mate,what happened ? I mean the thing is unsinkable so cant be anything bad

My point was who informed the Guardian that we had failed the protocol 3 times, I have trouble believing it's the club if not them then who?

Quite obvious.The FA`s own PR department.

It's not a tweet from SB.

Pity.

Some of the comments on here are a joke and represent the ball and chain this club has round its neck....small minded fans. Rule breaches are black and white....if we've fucked up admin three times then we deserve whatever comes with that, the same as any club does....just it isn't any club, we are the only ones who fucked up....the fa haven't made this up and there is no agenda against us, they're reporting the truth....that we broke the rules.

Bored to tears with idiot agenda monkeys preaching about agenda and reporting bias etc, too busy not being happy unless there is something to moan about to see the wood for the trees.

CITD but some people can do one.

A voice of sanity in the dark

if you do not get charged unless you fail 3 times, and we get charged then...

That was my initial thought but I couldn't go full conspiracy as we have run out of tin foil

Anyone know what the likely penalty will be?

I know exactly

Breach of any of Regulations 14-17 (inclusive) does not constitute an Anti-Doping Rule
Violation but instead shall constitute Misconduct within the meaning of Rule E.1 of the
Rules of The Football Association, for which the Regulatory Commission shall have at
its disposal all of the penalties set out in Regulation 8.1 of the Regulations for Football
Association Disciplinary Action

only I have no idea what rule e.1 is

 

[SWP's back]

Where does it say you don't get charged until the third time?

Not in your PDF for sure that I've seen.

So far everyone is going off the Guardian article and taking it as gospel.

Very true, if we've fucked it then so be it

BBC Northwest were suggesting a fine only.

Not sure but i'm hoping Aguero doesn't take it :)

It's a shame it's not decided by Anthony taylor cos we wouldn't get one

can't find it either, but its a heavy read and the ending is predictable

Admin error my arse, the players are all smacked off their tits......

Fucking hell, if they're all doped up, how bad would we be if we were clean?

It is worth noting this is @ManCity third breach over a rolling 12 month period, which is why they have been charged http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football

not totally convinced journos are not mixing club/player up - its 3 def for players - for the club it is 1 breach and you are charged according the the FA pdf (as it should be tbh)
