Alan Judge has been found by The FA to have committed an anti-doping violation related to his therapeutic use of an asthma inhaler and issued with a warning.
Alan has suffered from exercise-induced asthma since he was a child and was given permission to use the inhaler.
Following a match last August, Alan’s levels of salbutamol from his inhaler use were found to be slightly above the threshold, however in mitigation, he provided a full explanation of the circumstances surrounding this.
The FA found the case proven due to the level of salbutamol but acknowledged Alan’s strong arguments in mitigation by issuing a decision which confirmed that he demonstrated “No Significant Fault or Negligence”.
The Club will not be making any further comment.
