City fine Toure six weeks' wages

Manchester City have fined defender Kolo Toure six weeks' wages following the defender's suspension for a positive drugs test, the club confirmed today. Toure completed a six-month ban in September after failing a drug test earlier this year. City began disciplinary proceedings against the Ivorian international last week which concluded with a fine. "Following the conclusion of an internal disciplinary process, Manchester City Football Club can confirm that Kolo Toure has received a fine of six weeks' wages which relates to doping offences committed by him earlier this year," City said in a statement. "Kolo accepts the decision and he and the club now wish to draw a line under this matter and focus on the season ahead."
