MANCHESTER CITY HAVE been charged in relation to the English Football Association’s rules on anti-doping, under which it is alleged the Premier League side failed to ensure their “club whereabouts” information was accurate.
City have until next Thursday, 19 January, to respond to the charge.
A statement issued by the FA said the club’s alleged failure to provide accurate whereabouts information was contrary to its regulation 14(d).
Under the FA’s regulations, clubs must keep accurate record of training dates, the start and end times of sessions, where the sessions take place and the home address of its players.
The FA’s anti-doping handbook suggests City either initially uploaded inaccurate information, or failed to update their records.
“It shall also be a breach of this Regulation 14 by the club if the information contained in such reports is either initially inaccurate or has not been updated by the Club as necessary to ensure it remains accurate.”
It is understood the club will likely face a fine if found guilty.

Why do Dublin championship games be played mid week?Can’t be ideal for lads working
It’s a big rush to get them sorted cause the Leinster club championship is starting.
It’s midweek because all the other championships are on at the same time, Senior, B championship, inters junior and in both codes. It’s as complicated as a school timetable, you can’t have clashes because one club can be in more than one championship etc. It’s all squashed in but not the easiest thing to remedy but saying that all the junior and inter championships should be done and dusted during the summer, don’t understand the delay
Its an absolute disgrace that a county semi final was played at 8.15pm on a wednesday night..if the county board want to promote the game, they are making a poor hand of it.
The clubs don’t help at times. Hurling championship Games where held up for lads who were on the county football bench. In some cases these guys didn’t even play hurling when the next round eventually went ahead.
I don’t know of any other county that plays club championship matches midweek.
Fixing the final for Halloween and at the same time as the Rugby World Cup Final is surely not a smart decision either.
Won’t make a difference for me, Ireland are out, hurling would be more exciting
Cuala v Judes, big day for both clubs, cuala haven’t won since 1994 and Judes have never won as far as i know. Nice to see! Boden and Crokes have dominated for the last number of years and a change is comin!
