West Ham charged over anti-doping breach

    West Ham United have been charged over an alleged breach of anti-doping regulations.

    The Premier League club has until 27 February to respond to the charge. A statement from the FA read: "It is alleged the club failed to ensure its 'club whereabouts' information was accurate on three occasions within 12 months."

    A West Ham spokesman said: "We would like to make it clear that the breach is a club administrative matter and does not concern any of our players.

    "The breach relates to administrative oversights on the FA's whereabouts system, for example a player's address had been registered and the house number digits transposed, and the club will be responding to the FA in due course."
