Manchester United Charged with Breach of UEFA Anti-Doping Rules After Europa Win

Manchester United have been charged with breaching UEFA's anti-doping rules in their Europa League final win over Ajax in May and fined €10,000.

PA Dugout supplied the details:

United won the final 2-0 in Stockholm, Sweden, and qualified for the UEFA Champions League in the process.

Phil Jones was an unused substitute in the showpiece, while Daley Blind partnered Chris Smalling at the back.

Per PA Sport (h/t ESPN), Jones reacted negatively when asked to attend a drugs test after the match while Blind "was reluctant to take a test as requested because he wanted to celebrate with his team-mates," but "there is no suggestion" either of the duo actually doped.

ESPN's Rob Dawson made note of the matches Jones will miss as a result of his two-match ban:

The Red Devils have three days should they wish to appeal the sanctions.
