The article cited a Football Association source who suggested QPR were set to be docked 15 points over allegations that they breached rules on third-party ownership.
Rangers need just a point at Watford on Saturday to secure promotion from the Championship to the Premier League, subject to any sanctions which the FA might impose if seven charges relating to the registration of Argentinian midfielder Alejandro Faurlin are proved.
QPR have expressed concern over an article in The Sun on Friday which reported the possibility of a 15-point deduction if the club were found guilty of any breaches of FA regulations, citing an FA source.
The London club, who have not played in the top flight for 15 years, have denied the charges and a four-man panel will meet next Tuesday with the result of the hearing expected on Friday - the day before the end of the Championship season.
A statement from the club released on Friday night read: "QPR's lawyers have written to the FA requesting they instigate an investigation into the alleged source of the article in today's The Sun newspaper (Friday 29th April 2011) and that they issue an immediate statement confirming that the alleged FA source in the article does not represent the views of the FA and that the FA's policy is not to make public comment on the charges or evidence until after the hearing.
"The club shall not be making any further comment on the charges until after the hearing."
A points deduction could see QPR drop out of the automatic promotion places and throw the play-offs into chaos if the club appeal against the decision.
The FA said they will not comment until the charges are resolved.
