After a disciplinary hearing Tevez was fined four weeks' wages for committing five breaches of contract but it was reduced on Thursday when City accepted a ruling by the players' union, the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA).
The PFA backed the Argentine player's assertion that he did not refuse to come on as a substitute in last month's Champions League match at Bayern Munich but simply refused to again warm up and as such there was no justification for a fine other than the two-week maximum.
"I think it is a bit strange of course but the rules and regulations are there," Ferguson, who has praised City boss Roberto Mancini's handling of United's former player, told a news conference.
"It is a fact that the maximum fine you can give a player is two weeks' [wages]. It seems a bit crazy in that particular situation but it's there and there's nothing you can do about it."
"It is not my problem," Mancini said when asked about the PFA ruling. "It is not important two weeks [or] four weeks."
"We are in the best moment in our history, our focus is only on the game, on training, the other situation is not important," he said.
Asked whether it had made his job more difficult, he replied: "I don't think of the other situation, I think of my job always, I try to do the best in my job every day."
"Kolo is a different situation, it was a mistake," Mancini said of the Ivorian, whose positive test came after he took a diet pill that was not intended to enhance his performance.
"It was a totally different situation, in the other case [relating to Tevez], I think every player should have good behaviour always, for him and for the fans."
Mancini had said the striker was "finished" after the incident in Munich last month, while later seeming to soften his stance by saying he did not know if he would play for the club again.
