Ivan Toney's Betting Ban Sparks Controversy and Criticism.

Brentford striker Ivan Toney has been diagnosed with a gambling addiction, which led him to bet on his own clubs to lose matches, according to the English Football Association's (FA) reasons for handing him an eight-month ban. The FA pushed for a 15-month ban but reduced the punishment after taking into account the striker's guilty plea and evidence from a psychiatry expert who concluded he is an addict. Toney has now stopped gambling on football and is determined to address his gambling problem with therapy.

"Mitrovic Receives Eight-Game Ban for Pushing Referee in Premier League Match"

Fulham FC striker Aleksandar Mitrović has been given an eight-game ban for pushing referee Chris Kavanagh in the team’s FA Cup loss against Manchester United. The club, Mitrović and coach Marco Silva were all sanctioned after the 3-1 loss at Old Trafford last month that saw two players and the manager sent off. Mitrović was issued with a three-match ban for violent conduct, in addition to the three-match ban he had already received for the red card offense. The FA Regulatory Commission imposed an additional nearly $25,000 [£20,000] fine to Silva for “question[ing] the integrity of the match official and bring[ing] the game into disrepute.”
