Bournemouth have been charged for a breach of the FA's anti-doping rules relating to "club whereabouts" information.

"It is alleged the club failed to ensure that their 'Club Whereabouts' information was accurate, contrary to Regulation 14(d)," the FA said in a statement.

The Premier League club have until February 23 to respond to the charge.

On Thursday, fellow Premier League club Manchester City were fined 35,000 pounds ($A56,000) for a similar charge and were warned about their future conduct.

Regulation 14 of the FA regulations requires clubs to provide, on request, training dates, start and finish times, where training is taking place and players' overnight addresses.
