Robert Snodgrass hinted there may have been a case of mistaken identity after being punished for aggressively calling two UK Anti-Doping officials 'c****'.
The West Ham player denied the improper conduct charged but was hit with a one game suspension and £30,000 fine for the incident on February 6.
He maintains his innocence and even suggested it may have been Andy Carroll that the UKAD officials heard swearing at them.
The Football Association released their account of the story in which Snodgrass asked: 'Have you c**** got nothing better to do?' in an 'aggressive tone' and was 'much louder than the jeers from the other players'.
In light of the published findings by the FA, Snodgrass took exception to Sky Sports' story on their website and that version of events.
He posted on Twitter: 'Sky your looking for a bite...... I ain’t giving you it! The way you wrote this is sloppy and isn’t the truth. The season must be finished and clutching for stories.... disappointing! Think I might cancel my sports channels now.'
Both officials in question recalled hearing the West Ham winger making the offensive remark in his Scottish accent.
But Snodgrass himself maintains that the UKAD duo may have been confused in the noisy surroundings of the club's Rush Green training ground in February.
'As a Scotsman, my accent can sometimes be difficult for people to understand,' he reasoned, adding: 'How do you know it wasn't Andy? (Carroll)?'.
The 31-year-old went on to say he speaks 'quite quickly so it is possible that the Doping Control Personnel picked up wrongly what was being said amongst the players in the corridor'.
West Ham accepted the outcome of the FA's findings and did not launch an appeal, although captain Mark Noble, who was with Snodgrass at the time of the incident, wrote a letter to the panel supporting his team-mate's version of the incidents.
In the end the charge of improper conduct was proved on the balance of probability. Snodgrass was not required to take a drugs test and did not refuse to do so.
