It has been revealed that Alexis Sanchez missed a drugs test at Arsenal's training ground on the same day he was sealing a move to Manchester United.
On Friday morning, Arsene Wenger admitted that Arsenal were to blame for the incident after anti-doping authorities failed to locate Sanchez, but the player could face action, according to The Telegraph.
Sanchez is now facing a "missed-test strike", which means if the player slips up two more times in the next 12 months, he would be banned for a minimum one-year.
Wenger said the following about the 'drug test allegations' in a press conference on Friday:

"On Monday, there was a lot going on. It was a special day for Alexis, because you have to do paperwork, you have to travel." Wenger said in a press conference.
"Is he still our player on Monday or not? You don't know, with negotiations going on.
Anthony Joshua plays football with the Manchester United squad:
"I think it's a special event for him to miss a drugs test because he was certainly busy somewhere else with his agent. Overall, he has been tested so many times here that it's no worry for me that he has any doping problem. It's just a bad day for him to be tested.

"On the administration side, it would certainly still be our responsibility because on the day, he had not moved. Maybe it will be down to us, to our responsibility."
