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

I agree, once is incompetence, three times is negligence, the person or persons responsible and their line manager should be fired. Apart from the financial penalty it is damaging to our global reputation - CEO should be fuming

Exactly. We fuck up richly on PR to feed the haters, then never seem to aggressively counter the resulting media negativity.

Nothing to do with doping either, more with poor clerking! But put doping and MCFC in the same sentence and it'll be worth gold for the click baiters!

If the testers can't find players and tests are missed it's everything to do with doping. Somebody at the club failed to do their job 3 times. Nobody else to blame.
 
Not had time to catch up today but read the last two pages.

Do we know we fucked up for sure now I take it?

And did we fuck up three times like Stone was tweeting last night or is it still guesswork and gossip?
 
Typical city, own goal, shooting ourselves in the foot....

Too many aspects of our great club are not run to the standard and quality that are commensurate with a global, high quality organisation:
- ticketing
- the city web site
- this whereabouts process

Who is the executive in charge of these operational aspects. Would that be Sorriano?
Someone seriously needs at the very least reprimanded for this last one. Vickie Kloss gets some slagging for failing to manage our media image better but good god, when we hand stuff like this on a plate to a RAg infested media, what the hell can anyone do. If we are guilty in this case we should go overboard in transparency, the reasons it's happened and what we will do to mitigate any repeat. Don't think we have the equivalent of a Chief Operating Officer whose responsibility it is to ensure all IT and Operations, Support Funnctions and the like are run effectively. Maybe it's time we did.

I agree, the press seem to be making a big thing of this but the fact is(from reading reports)....this is the 3rd bleach over a 12month period, so only got ourselves to blame! I can understand an admin error once, even twice but a 3rd time? Just makes us look clueless.

Stop reading shite reports

Not sure but apparently it's FA policy to give two warnings before a charge, so I would assume we did.

It's just I can't find anything on the FA's website that says that.

It all seems to come from a Guardian article last night and it now seems gospel.

How did this get out in the public domain?

The FA being twats and informing the media, or possibly an inside job from an employee who is not a Blue?

all FA charges are in public aren't they? Suppose its hard to know as if any were in private, as we wouldn't know about them

And as for the charges being released in 'primetime' as per other grumbles stop me if I'm wrong but as I drive home from work every day with the radio I always here about new charges around rush hour - seems to be the standard release time for that days FA charges

If it is our 3rd time tbh a points deduction would not be unfair, if we do not take drugs in sport seriously we deserve punishing

Correct, I just hope this is not the tip of the iceberg for other areas of non compliance.

If it is specifically doping regulations and everywhere else complies it is a worrying aspect that hopefully has now been rectified.
If other areas of conformity are affected then we need somebody in charge of Quality who understands what Method Statements mean and how to review and apply rectification of non conformity issues.

So the players are doped? We've got a few 'CamelGobs' on the books? They've been off to pick up their Grandmas and forgot about the tests? How does this doping work? They turn up unannounced and ask for Player X? He's fucked off home to play on his Playstation and so the RagDIpperArseMeedya have another story. Were we doped we might have made a better fist of the matches where we've fallen short. It ain't cycling, it ain't athletics, but lets have the Rag journos follow a story and make a mountain out of it!
 
The FArce disciplinary business is fairly public. Their website has a link DISCIPLINARY and it makes public all the charges. What it doesn't seem to make public are the discussions as to how they arrive at a ban for Aguero but nowt for Rojo! Just the same way that refs don't explain the shit decisions they make!

It's pretty well general knowledge that there are 'placements' at FArce HQ who take a personal interest in shafting certain clubs and whitewashing others.

The way how some of them were playing prior to the last couple of games makes me think that any drug abuse was having little positive effect.
Certainly our shooting accuracy has been wayward to put it mildly, glad to see that has recently improved significantly lol.

We've more than likely been doped with having something spiked and we end up with a performance 'dis-enhancer' than the opposite.
