Technically, the Football Association's powers over Manchester City for their breach of anti-doping rules are wide-ranging.
They could expel them from competition for a season, or indefinitely, they could shut the ground, deduct points, suspend players or force matches to be played behind closed doors.
They won't. They will administer a fine, probably around £25,000, because that is what their guidelines recommend. Fleetwood Town, charged with a similar offence, will be fined perhaps a smaller sum, as a League One club. And there, encapsulated, is why the FA's anti-doping rules are a mess.
On three occasions in the last 12 months, City violated the 'whereabouts' rule by providing inaccurate or outdated information on the movement of their players for anti-doping purposes; yet the FA stance is so woolly this does not even count as a doping rule violation.
