Snodgrass faces FA rap after being accused of swearing at drug testers
Scottish ace has until March 18 to respond to the charge and could be fined or banned for the offence if found guilty
WEST HAM midfielder Robert Snodgrass will face an FA commission after being accused of swearing at drug testers.
Scotland ace Snodgrass was charged with misconduct after an incident at West Ham’s Rush Green training headquarters on February 6.
It is understood that Snodgrass was reported to have been abusive to officials from UK anti-doping when they arrived to carry out random drugs tests two days after the 1-1 draw with Liverpool.
Snodgrass was not asked to give a sample himself but was said to have verbally assaulted the drugs testing team.
Under FA regulations there is no set punishment and the case must be determined by an independent regulatory commission.
Snodgrass, who has until March 18 to respond to the charge, could be fined or banned for the offence if found guilty.
