Chelsea's soccer star Eden Hazard today was charged with by the English Football Association with violent conduct after being ejected from his team's League Cup match at Swansea earlier this week for kicking a ball boy.
Hazard, a Belgian, is facing a lengthy ban after a statement on the FA website said his actions "constituted violent conduct whereby the standard punishment that would otherwise apply was clearly insufficient."
Hazard has until January 29 to respond to the charge. The case will then go before an FA disciplinary panel who will decide on any punishment more than the standard three-game ban.

I think he was going after the ball. Did the whistle blow? I think he will be found not guilty. This guy probably was in a pub right after the game drinking a yard of brew.
STILL DO NOT UNDERSTAND? WHY did the ball boy cover up the ball, and for me, hide it? Was he for the other team?
