Manchester United UEFA anti-doping fines The Red Devils won the final 2-0 in Stockholm, Sweden on May 24 and in doing so qualified for the Champions League. Two of United's players — defenders Phil Jones and Daley Blind — were fined 5,000 euros ($5,922) each for two distinct reasons: Jones was charged with "insulting and directing abusive language towards a doping control officer" and suspended for two games, while Blind was charged with "noncompliance with the doping procedure." Jones reportedly became upset with an official after the latter refused to let the defender pose for a team photo United took to honor the victims of the Manchester terrorist bombing at an Ariana Grande concert that left 22 people dead two days before the Europa League final. The defender was an unused substitute for the final, while Blind played the entire game. Jones will miss the Super Cup match against Real Madrid on Aug. 8 and the opening Champions League game. #Breaking Daley Blind has been charged for violation and non-compliance of the doping procedure, and has been fined €5,000 #MUFC — PA Dugout (@PAdugout) July 31, 2017 UEFA stated the incidents violated the rule dictating that teams are responsible for ensuring players selected to undergo doping controls are transported to the control station straight from the field as soon as the game ends.
