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

The way this was announced at first I thought you had a player who had failed a doping test... Pretty misleading reporting really.

Cynics will say they did that on purpose to tar us.

Me? I say they did that on purpose to tar us - knowing 99% of the population only reads headlines.

Totally agree - the point, for me, is the reckless reporting --- nothing new there then....snakes!
 
The Guardian has published a little more detail and it gets worse, although we'll probably only get a £25k fine. https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...ter-city-doping-test-charges?CMP=share_btn_tw

It seems that on three separate occasions we had incorrect information on at least 5 squad members when testing staff turned up. 5 is apparently the trigger point for the FA so they do allow some leeway. But if that's true and on three occasions we've had incorrect information for 5 or more players then someone wants shooting, despite the over-sensational headlines.

I imagine someone will be getting a written warning, or a P45 on Monday morning.

Aye but isn't the benchmark for "being in the wrong place" pretty much as small as being in a first team training session instead of in the gym with the reserves. From what I read it sounded incredibly petty
