Dopingkontrollanterne from the uk anti-doping agency UKAD came, apparently, not on the trail of illegal drugs, as they 6. February troppede up at West ham's training facility to dopingteste players.

But they had yet raised a case, which can result in fines and quarantine to midfielder Robert Snodgrass, who was a little too quick in the reply according to passenger tastes.

’Have you anything better to do?’ was the question from Snodgrass, when the inspectors went in started with their endeavor.

the Note, which, according to the british media may have been accompanied by one or more swear words and possibly was said with a twinkle in his eye, perceived the inspectors as ’insulting language’, which they immediately gossiped to the higher authority.

The british football association, the FA have now taken steps to raise a disciplinary proceedings against Snodgrass, incidentally, which was personally selected for doping control and therefore have tried to avoid being tested.

Snodgrass and West ham have refused to comment on the case in the british media. The player must, within 18. march to answer the charge before the FA decides whether the action is brought.

What penalty, Snodgrass is liable to, if he is found guilty, is not specified by the FA, writes the Daily Mail. In september last year, the Bury manager Ryan Lowe in a similar case, a fine of 13,000 dollars, and the exclusion in the two matches.

the Daily Mail highlights the fact that several of Snodgrass’ teammates are ready to testify to the benefit of Snodgrass, if a case is being raised. It is the widespread perception in the spillertruppen that Snodgrass’ comment was jovial and not so insulting, as it was perceived.
