Snodgrass misconduct ban

West Ham United winger Robert Snodgrass has been handed a one-match ban after an Independent Regulatory Commission found him guilty of misconduct towards UK Anti-doping officials.

Scotland international Snodgrass was not scheduled to be tested nor did he refuse to take a test when officials visited West Ham’s training ground in February.

The 31-year-old has also been fined £30,000 and a Football Association statement read: “A misconduct charge against Robert Snodgrass has been found proven.

“It was alleged that his language and/or behaviour towards UK Anti-doping officials, who were visiting West Ham United’s training ground on 6 February, was abusive and/or insulting and/ or improper. The player has been given a one-match suspension, which is not active whilst he considers his right of appeal, and fined £30,000.”
