Brentford, Toney admits betting violations and faces a lengthy ban

The lightness of the Brentford striker

Players are banned from betting on football, but this ban has not been respected by Brentford striker Ivan Toney who now risks a long disqualification. He brings it back sports mailwhich sheds some light on the matter. The attacker admitted that he had bet and thus violated the Football Association’s rules of the game. Bets made a few years ago and indeed Toney was charged last November with 232 breaches of the FA’s gambling laws between 2017 and 2021. The following month, the FA added a further 30 charges relating to the 2017-2019 period. However, the footballer has denied some violations, which he will also assert in the next disciplinary hearing. Toney’s near-certain suspension could rule him out of contention for England’s EURO qualifiers against Italy and Ukraine, which would be a major blow to manager Gareth Southgate, who is few with Callum Wilson and Raheem Sterling, both of whom are struggling with nagging injuries attack opportunities.
