Defending champion Chelsea was accused of misconduct by England's Football Association on Thursday for doing independent drug tests on some of its players.

Romanian international Adrian Mutu tested positive for using cocaine whilst playing for Chelsea in 2004. Chelsea have been charged with breaching Football Association (FA) rules for carrying out private drugs tests on some of their own players. [AFP]

The FA says the tests took place July 12, 2004, violating the agreement that all tests must be part of the FA's anti-doping program. Chelsea has until Sept. 23 to respond.

"Chelsea has seen the FA charge issued today and will defend it vigorously," the team said. "The club feels that it has done nothing morally wrong."

Former Chelsea striker Adrian Mutu failed a club-administered test before an official positive test for cocaine. The FA suspended him for seven months in September 2004.

"(We) would never attempt to contravene any rules in order to cover up drugs in sport," Chelsea said.

Chelsea fired Mutu as well as goalkeeper Mark Bosnich, who tested positive for cocaine and was suspended for nine months by the FA in April 2003.
