West Ham midfielder Robert Snodgrass cops ban

West Ham midfielder Robert Snodgrass has been banned after being found guilty of misconduct.

The Mirror says Snodgrass has been hit with a one-match ban for abusing anti-doping officials at their training ground in February.

The incident occurred on February 6 when officials visited Rush Green to conduct out-of-competition testing.

The Scottish international was not tested and was not due to be tested during the visit but has been found guilty of abusive behaviour by an Independent Regulatory Commission after being charged with a breach of FA Rule E3 (1).

The 31-year-old has now been hit with a one-match ban and a £30,000 fine, although he has the right to appeal before his suspension is activated.
