Reiteration in the Premier

The Toney thing is not something exceptional in the Premier League. In recent years, different cases have been uncovered that directly pointed to players who played for different clubs in the English league. The most notorious of them was that of Kieran Trippierwhich passed through the ranks of the Atlético to return time later to Newcastle.

The winger and his transfer to the rojiblanco team was the reason for the sanction imposed by the FIFA. The soccer player leaked information to his environment about his arrival at Atlético de Madrid, which caused great profits through the betting houses. They forced him to serve a 10-week suspension and pay £70,000.

Daniel Sturridge It was another of the negative protagonists. The English player was caught when he passed information to his brother so that she would invest money by notifying him that he was close to landing on the Sevilla in 2018. The transfer was frustrated, but the striker was monitored in his movements.

After several years of resources and appeals, the illegal betting investigation commission and FIFA imposed a harsh punishment on him. In total four months of suspension and almost 180,000 euros to pay. From there, his career went downhill after rescinding his contract. Trabzonspor your contract. A situation that has made him not currently have a team.

For his part, the Englishman was banned for four months after an episode in the 2012/13 season when he was a member of the Birmingham City.

That is to say, English football and its players are usual suspects of breaking the rules when it comes to betting money on matches.

And coincidentally, many more cases have been uncovered on the islands than in other countries.
