"Centre-back Phil Jones has been charged with directing abusive language towards the doping control officer, in addition to being accused of a "lack of co-operation and respect", according to a statement from UEFA.
As a result, Jones has been handed a two-match European ban and fined £4,500, while Dutch defender Daley Blind has been charged with violation and non-compliance of the procedure, and has also been hit with a £4,500 fine.
According to a number of reports, Blind was reluctant to take the test as requested as he wanted to celebrate with his teammates following their 2-0 victory over Ajax, which secured a return to the Champions League.
Man United have three days to appeal the decision from UEFA"

Abusing a doping officer is pretty odd behaviour.

Perhaps he thought he was taking the piss.

United charged with breaching UEFA's anti-doping regulations for a 'lack of co-operation and lack of respect'.

United fined €10,000.
Phil Jones banned for 2 games and charged €5,000.
Daley Blind fined €5,000.

There is no suggestion that either player was guilty of doping.

They're just dopes!
