Ivan Toney to serve ban for 262 FA betting breaches

Ivan Toney has accepted the charges against betting that have been placed on him. However, there are some of the 262 charges placed on him that he is contesting, as things stand. 

The Brentford striker is expected to serve a long ban which could start before the end of the season. An FA hearing is expected to take place very soon, which will determine the length of the ban that could be placed on him. 

Ivan Toney to serve ban for breaching FA betting rules 

The FA charged Toney with breaching 232 rules between 2017 and 2021 in November. And in December, he was charged with an extra 30 breaches between 2017 and 2019. 

Ivan Toney has played for several clubs during this time period alongside Brentford, including Scunthorpe, Wigan and Peterborough. However, there is no history of him betting against any of his own teams. 

A suspension or ban is the most likely outcome for the charges that have been placed against the 26-year-old. Historically, players involved in betting have had to serve considerable amounts of time out of the sport. Joey Barton of Burnley served an 18-month ban in 2017 for placing 1260 bets between 2006 and 2013. However, it was later reduced to 13 months after an appeal. 

Toney has been in very good form this season, scoring 15 goals for Brentford. He was expected to receive a call-up from Gareth Southgate for the England national team later on. But if he is suspended, he could miss their European Championship qualifiers. Moreover, his club future could also be affected considering his betting activity.
