At the end of the year, the English football world took a turn for the worse when Binford star Evan Tony was unfortunately involved in a gambling scandal. In March, he had to plead guilty to a charge of 262 counts of betting against him. The FA ruled on Thursday (18th), announcing an eight-month ban until January 2024 for the England international. Anthony took to social media to express his "extreme disappointment" at the outcome.
It is reported that Ai Yun Dongni has repeatedly breached the English FA's ban on gambling on football between 2017 and 2021, despite the fact that he has never placed any bets on the matches he has been involved in. In its statement of judgment, the FA emphasized that "Ai Wan Dongni will be banned from all soccer activities for eight months (until January 16, 2024) and will be required to pay a fine of £50,000 (approximately HK$488,000), with the penalty to take immediate effect." For the first four months of his ban, Ai Yundoni will be restricted from even training, but he will have the opportunity to return to the team for training in the final four months of his ban (starting September 17th).
