West Ham United midfielder Robert Snodgrass has been charged by the Football Association with allegedly using abusive language towards anti-doping officials.
The alleged incident took place at the Hammers’ training ground on 6 February and the player, who could face a one-match ban and an £8,000 fine, has until 18 March to respond to the charge (Sky Sports News).
According to Sky Sports News, Snodgrass was not tested and was not due to be tested as he did not appear on this list of players, but was simply in attendance at the time of the alleged comment, while talkSPORT and BBC Sport report that the 31-year-old did not refuse to take a test.
After the news was announced by numerous media outlets on Monday, some West Ham fans took to Twitter to make their feelings known:
Snodgrass, signed from Hull City for a reported fee of £10.2million (BBC Sport) in January 2017, has scored four goals in a total of 32 appearances for Manuel Pellegrini’s charges this season, and played the whole of their 2-0 victory over Newcastle United on Saturday, setting up the opening goal.
