Ivan Toney Makes First Statement After Report On Betting On Brentford To Lose Emerges

The FA banned Ivan Toney for eight months from professional football. They put the ban after an extensive investigation into the striker. The precise nature of the problems had not been revealed. But the FA has now released its full report, declaring that the 27-year-old initially lied about betting and providing insider information.

Some recent reports have uncovered Ivan Toney’s full details on gambling. The Brentford striker claims to have placed 13 bets against his own club.

However, Brentford released a statement this Friday on Ivan Toney’s betting news:

“Brentford FC has received and accepted the written reasons of an independent Regulatory Commission that handed Ivan Toney an eight-month ban from all football and football-related activity after he admitted breaches of FA Rule E8, relating to placing bets on football,” the Premier League club said.

“The judgement has been published on the FA website. Ivan and Brentford FC accept that offences were committed, and sanctions were inevitable.

“The commission noted that none of the charges related to events where Ivan could negatively impact his own team.”
