UEFA's explanation for Manchester United defender Phil Jones' suspension has made it to the public.
Jones and United teammate Daley Blind were found guilty of breaching the governing body's doping regulations following Manchester United's 2-0 win over Ajax in the Europa League final.
Jones was banned for two European matches and fined €5,000, Blind was fined €5,000 and United were fined €10,000 over the rule breaches.
Graham Stringer, MP for Blackley and Broughton, wrote to UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin about the matter and the Manchester Evening News has published the reply.
"The first player from Manchester United, Phil Jones, came to the DCS (doping control station) and was very upset that he had to be in the DCS," UEFA's head of president office, Luka Zajc, wrote.
"He wanted to leave the DCS to celebrate with the team but I told him that he had to do the sampling first.
"He then told me I was a f***** doing this and that I had a f****** job and how I could be so f****** stupid to consider having such a f****** job.
"I told him that this was the UEFA regulations and that my job was to do the control. He still continued to tell me I had a f****** job and how I even could do that job.
"I then asked him to calm down and stop insulting me and then he said he didn't want to talk to me anymore."
Given that Jones' upset was due to him missing the tribute photo to the Manchester terror victims, Zajc claimed that he was given a reduced ban.
"I trust that you can understand that, even if a player is frustrated or upset, he has to respect the work of the competition officials who are carrying out doping tests," he added.
"This is the least we can expect from any professional sportsman.
"For your information, I can further advise that, on a strict application of the rules, the normal sanction imposed for insulting match officials would be a three-match suspension.
"In the circumstances of this particular case, however, the disciplinary body decided to impose a reduced sanction, given the full background elements."
