Manchester United players Phil Jones and Daly Blind are in trouble with UEFA's anti-doping arm, but not for having actually doped. Before the Europa League final in May, Jones reportedly insulted a doping control officer and Blind reportedly wasn't following the controllers' directions.

This means Jones will not be available for the European Super Cup agaist Real Madrid. United were already missing central defender Eric Bailly, who is suspended because of a red card picked up against Celta Vigo in the Europa League semifinals.
The moral of this story is you should be nice to doping investigators, even if you haven't actually been doping. It could come back to haunt you!
