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

[SilverFox2]

Drug abuse is a serious thing as Mr Bolt found out recently when a previous blood sample for a team member was re examined using more modern detection methods. Drug detection has moved on a tad and we should be having our own internal means of checking players with the scientific improvement methods rather than apparently relying on FA methodology.

Hopefully the admin fault is the reality and ADUG will now take all aspects of FA rules with the same commitment that saw our Business Plan overcome the FFP saga. If admin is just taking the blame then our medics are ahead of the game and do not want old suspect blood samples being the target sometime in the future.

Can't believe we have been stupid enough to do this 3 times someone is in for a bollocking.

If true that could include not reporting a change in training regime or not updating a hotel used or dates away for the entire squad.

You're going to have to drop the pitchfork and put the tar and feathers on hold without any actual facts.

I agree. File under careless. Obviously some preventative work needs doing.

I doubt the details of what and why happened will come to light.

Not sure what you mean by this.
The offence is failing to record where players will be - not missing a test.

I would guess that there is a policy of checking if people are around when they're meant to be, and that it's separate to the actual drug testers.

The FA aren't blameless but It is careless from us and we can't afford anymore mistakes from now.

I take your point and am hopeful that the offence is genuinely an admin problem but the FA feel that the two are obviously linked in some way ie whereabouts and the testing.
Does each players whereabouts have to be recorded on a daily basis or is it just on the pre-announced day of the drug testing ?

Mr Gill clutching at straws again the rag ****.

We SHOULD know the rules, somebody needs their arse kicking.

 

[CharliesRightPeg]

Wish the club would leak exactly what has happened. If it's due to the testers not going from the eds team to the u18 cause a player has switched groups or something to do with the ladies surely that would mitigate the grief from the papers

This is an interesting perspective to take, and certainly a possibility here.

I wonder if any of Leicester's tests from last season will ever come under re-testing. I also wonder if FA Chairman (from August 2016) Greg Clarke has any influence over the testing regime. Mr Clarke is a lifelong Leicester City fan and was their chairman until Milan Mandaric took over in 2007.
