FA BAN SOMEONE FOR 2 YEARS
A professional footballer has been banned for two years for failing to take a drugs test but he will not be named.
The player's identity would normally be made public but a clause in the agreement between the Football Association and anti-doping agency UK Sport means he will not be named if there is a danger the person involved may harm themselves.
The player, who is not well-known, flatly refused to provide a sample of urine when testers from UK Sport visited his club.
He was suspended for two years by a Football Association disciplinary commission. UK Sport reviewed the FA's decision not to name him and agreed that there was a risk to the player's mental and physical health if he were named.
It is only the second time a footballer has been suspended for failing to comply with a drugs test since Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand was banned for eight months in 2004.
A year later, Torquay's Icelandic international goalkeeper Olafur Gottskalksson was banned indefinitely by the FA for refusing to take a drugs test.
After viewing the list of banned substances, he left the club and never returned or played professional football again.
