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

Rio Ferdinand got banned fer 8 months and he was a rag and missed th euros fer England. Think some blues need to stop with this 'everyones out to get us' bullshit it's embarrassing. we're getting done because of a 3 strike rule....someone in charge of our admin fucked up 3 times! nowt to do with corruption.

I have just got back from the pub, and have only read the first page. However, if 'performance enhancement' is being banded about, we'll have some pretty strong evidence to refute it.

I'd start with video of the Leicester game.

So did Fleetwood just so happen to have their 3rd strike at the exact moment as us, or is it simply that they wanted to find something, anything, to charge City with and needed another team that had done it to make it seem like it's not actually an anti-City agenda?

Anyone fancy making a banner that says Fucking Assholes?

I'm sure the 10 PL league titles the FA and PL have gift wrapped the Rags outweighs Camel Chops ban.

How many other clubs have breached this? Why are they bringing this up now ffs? Jeez we have to be cleaner than clean to avoid negative press.

When people are posting 'why now' is there some reason why not now? It's probably now because we have just failed now, if we failed in October we would have been charged in October, and if we had filed in the form correctly we wouldn't be charged at all, not now, not last week, not next week

In that case I suggest you read ALL the pages then you`re not seen as an idiot.

Because we have allegedly broken this rule on two other occasions and our very own PB has stated this.

By the sounds of it we've fucked up and will be punished accordingly. It's getting a bit tedious to see everything blamed on an agenda against the club.

I don't know much about this and haven't read the full article as I am at work but surely a charge is a little heavy. I would have thought the FA would have advised City that the 'whereabouts' paperwork was not up to date and set deadlines for improvement. If that happened and we didn't comply then admin have a lot to answer for

That unfortunately is too sensible for the FA. Just another issue in their vendetta against us.
The club needs to start considering legal action against these dickheads (the FA and the media).

It's all gone to shit since Bernard Halford retired.

Look in Section G of the PDF "http://www.thefa.com/~/media/files/pdf/thefa/fahandbookrules_06-07" for the possible penalties.
Anything from a slap on the wrist through a fine to suspension from competition if it is found to be be a deliberate club policy. My guess would be a fine of some sort.

 

[Ric]

I'd be amazed if it was anything other than a fine.

 

[deano ou812]

Fine only.

Cheers oakie,a fine well not to bad considering it is the third time we have apparently done this..

Cheers,will have a look at that..

I've held of saying this for a long time but the more I see of this type of thing I am more convinced that there is an racist angle to this with regard to our owners.

The way we get portrayed in the media is nothing short of a disgrace.

I've been saying it since 2008. The powers that be at the FA do not want one of their oldest clubs being owned by brown-skinned muslims and they most certainly do not want that club to then become successful especially at the expense of a club that is owned by the 'right sort' of owner (white skinned Jews or christians)

I`m only going by what both Sky and BBC Northwest commentators said,but it appears that its nothing more than an admin cock up again.However should it happen again then BINGO we deserve to get fucked over good and proper by the FA.
