Very interesting especially the doping charge. I love the point I have highlightedYou can view the reports on FA disciplinary action on the FArce website. Very interesting reading.

On 15 September 2016, the Club incurred a second Whereabouts strike.
On 27 January 2017, the Club admitted the Charge and submitted correspondence seeking to explain the incidents and respond to the points raised by The FA. The Club submitted that there had been some administrative errors with regard to the first and third strikes and that this was directly related to new management being in place at the time. This resulted in a period of adjustment for the players and staff to new training regimes and systems. With regard to the second strike, the Club submitted that they had grounds to challenge this strike on the basis that on the evening of 31 August 2016, when Club personnel left the Club, all information relating to the player was correct. This point was not accepted by The FA who submitted that the records had in fact not been updated for eight (8) days after the player had moved address. It would appear that the Club despite considering there were grounds to challenge, in the interest of saving time and costs for all parties accepted the Charge.
