UEFA CHARGE FERGIE

UEFA said in a statement:

'With his remarks Sir Alex, whose team face Real Madrid CF
in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals
this evening in Spain, cast doubt upon the integrity of the
draw for the quarter-finals.

'According to UEFA disciplinary regulations, member
associations, as well as their players, officials and
members, should conduct themselves according to the
principle of loyalty, integrity and sportsmanship.

'A breach of these principles is incurred by anyone whose
conduct brings the sport of football, and UEFA in
particular, into disrepute (article 5 of the disciplinary
regulations). The case will be dealt with by the UEFA
Control and Disciplinary Body on 1 May.'

Sir Alex did retract his statement later saying “I have been
assured by UEFA that the draw was fair. I take their word
for it, so I was wrong to say what I did.”

But it appears as if this is not enough for UEFA and the
charges have been made.
