West Ham midfielder Snodgrass hit by surprise FA charge

West Ham midfielder Robert Snodgrass has been hit by a surprise FA charge.

Snodgrass has been charged for allegedly abusing anti-doping officials at West Ham's training ground.

The incident is alleged to have occurred when officials visited Rush Green last month to conduct out-of-competition testing.

An FA statement declared: "Robert Snodgrass has been charged with a breach of FA Rule E3(1).

"It is alleged the player used abusive and/or insulting words towards UK anti-doping officials who were visiting West Ham United's training ground on 06 February 2019 to conduct out-of-competition testing."

Interestingly, Scotland international Snodgrass was not tested and was not due to be tested either.
