England international Ivan Toney had been charged with 262 counts. The football professional from Brentford receives a large fine in addition to the game suspension.
English international Ivan Toney from Premier League club Brentford FC has been banned for eight months for violating FA betting rules.
The 27-year-old was cautioned and also fined £50,000, the FA said. The ban is valid up to and including January 16 next year. However, Toney is allowed to return to training at his club four months before the ban expires, according to a statement on Wednesday.
Toney was charged with 262 counts at the end of last year. 30 violations were subsequently withdrawn by the FA, but there were still 232 violations. The offenses are said to have occurred between February 25, 2017 and January 23, 2021, when the professional was still playing at lower-class clubs.
Despite the allegations, England manager Gareth Southgate called up the attacker and gave him his debut for the Three Lions in a 2-0 win once morest Ukraine in March.

His club responded to the verdict with a written statement. The club first wanted to wait and examine the publication of the written justification. After that, further steps will be considered. With 20 goals this season, Toney is the third-best goalscorer in the Premier League. Only Tottenham’s Harry Kane (27 goals) and Manchester City’s Erling Haaland (36) have scored more often.
