  "account": "La Liga president Javier Tebas has called for increased financial transparency in football following Manchester City's alleged breaches of Premier League regulations. City's chairman, Khaldoon Al Mubarak, has denied the charges, insisting the club is innocent. The Premier League side is accused of providing inaccurate financial information, breaching financial sustainability rules, and failing to cooperate with an investigation. Tebas, who has previously criticized financial \"doping\" by clubs like City and Paris Saint-Germain, emphasized the need for equal rules and transparency in football to protect its integrity and sustainability.",
  "summary": "Javier Tebas says he was among those who spoke out in 2017 against 'financial doping' by clubs tapping Gulf wealth to boost their competitive ambitions.",
