Probs a bit harsh but he broke a law.
Rio Ferdinand should take a look at his own stupidity and take the punishment. Man U should take an even bigger look at themselves as they let the guy just walk away from the training ground. Rio should also be grateful he's not in athletics or some other sport as he'd be banned two years no problem. A failure to take the test has to be presumed to be a fail of the test otherwise anyone could just "forget" to take the test.
As for the ban being longer than some other instances the FA will point out that they have a new head, Mark Palios who is trying to reall stamp out drug abuse.
Its not a case of one rule for Manchester Utd and one for everyone else, its a case of one rule for Mark Palios and one rule for the previous head.
