However the 31-year-old has still been hit with an FA charge after allegedly verbally abusing the anti-doping official. “Robert Snodgrass has been charged with a breach of FA Rule E3(1),” the FA said in a statement.
“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.
“He has until 18 March 2019 to respond.” Snodgrass, signed from Hull for a reported fee of 10.2million in January 2017, has scored four goals in a total of 32 appearances for the Hammers this season.
