Yep a 10 game ban and a £50,000 fine would of been about right. But the
F.A are trying to prove a point to any player that missing a drugs test will mean you get severely punished.
Problem is the F.A have shot themselves in the foot now so to speak as Rio wont be going to Portugal so they are making the England team suffer for something that has nothing to do with them.
On one of the coaching courses I went to over the summer we got told about the measures used in football to try and combat players taking drugs and to be fair they are so strict.
Rios just found out the hard way
