Drug test job at City

MANCHESTER CITY are set to appoint an anti-doping officer after being hit with an FA fine earlier this year.

City breached the FA’s “whereabouts” rules that requires clubs to keep drugs authorities up to date with where their players can be found for testing.

Pep Guardiola’s side were fined £35,000 and warned about their future conduct by the FA in February after falling foul of the ruling on three separate occasions.

The Blues are now set to appoint a member of staff to ensure the whereabouts of players are kept up to date to avoid falling foul of football authorities again.

City doctor Matt Brown said: “We’re not happy as a club because it does bring our badge into disrepute.

“But these have been administration errors. There have been no specific anti-doping offences.”
