Chel$ki to Face FA Charge

Nothing to do with us I know, but on such a slow news day I thought this might cheer a few of you up...

The FA has just posted the following statement on it's website;


"The FA has today charged Chels*a FC with misconduct for a breach of FA Rule E25 in respect of the independent private drug testing the club conducted on some of its players on 12 July 2004," read the statement.

"It is alleged that Chels*a FC has breached Regulation 1(e) of The FA's Doping Control Regulations, which states that interference with a drugs test or the Doping Control Programme will be regarded as amounting to a breach of the Doping Control Regulations."

The paragraph relating to the charge, regarding Definition and Descriptions of Doping Offences, reads as follows: "The independent private testing/screening of players by clubs, club officials or any other person subject to Football Association Rules is prohibited.

"Such testing/screening will be regarded as conduct that would interfere with The Football Association's Doping Control Programme contrary to paragraph 1(e) above and penalties may be imposed accordingly..."


The reason for their private drug testing: - John T*rry and Fat Frank L*mpard are bang on the sniff, I reckon Joe C*le is partial to a nose-up from time to time aswell!
