Only player is this one that I can think of

In 2007 Uefa banned the Lithuania midfielder Saulius Mikoliunas for two matches after replays showed that he had dived to win a penalty during his country's 3-1 defeat in a Euro 2008 qualifier away to Scotland. It was the first time a player had been retrospectively found guilty of behaving, according to Uefa statute, "with the obvious intent to cause any match official to make an incorrect decision". But there have since been other cases of players being suspended for cheating.

However the important question here is whether we can prove any tentative link between this Lithuanian cheat and the Arsenal in order to fuel rampant paranoia about anti-Arsenal based agendas in the media and UEFA.

My favourite bit of the whole thing was McGeady getting booked on the weekend after the Eduardo thing and them trying to justify it as non-cheating as he got caught
