Chaplow is a 31 year old midfielder from England. He has spent time with Burnly, West Brom, South Hampton, and Preston North End amongest others.

Chaplow has since denied the claims and many people are upset with the “slap” on the wrist punishment. What do you think Galaxy fans? Is the suspension the proper punishment for the offense?
