Here Is Why Ivan Toney Has Been Banned From Football For Eight Months

Brentford star, Ivan Toney has received a ban from playing football and engaging in any football related activity for 8 months and here is why.

Brentford FC and England striker Ivan Toney has been slammed with an eight months ban from playing football and engaging in any football related activity by the English Football Association.

The 8 months ban was confirmed in an official statement released by the English FA today, Wednesday, May 17, 2023.

Toney received the 8 months ban for violating betting regulations and he also received a 50,000 pounds fine. The English FA confirmed that Toney admitted to 232 breaching charges out of the 262 leveled against him by the association.

The statement released by the FA confirmed that:

"Ivan Toney has been suspended from all football and football-related activity with immediate effect for eight months, which runs up to and including 16 January 2024, fined £50,000 and warned as to his future conduct for breaches of The FA's Betting Rules.

The Brentford FC forward was charged with 262 breaches of FA Rule E8 in total between 25 February 2017 and 23 January 2021. The FA subsequently withdrew 30 of these breaches and he admitted to the remaining 232.

His sanctions were subsequently imposed by an independent Regulatory Commission following a personal hearing. He is permitted to return to training only with his club for the final four months of his suspension starting from 17 September 2023.

The independent Regulatory Commission's written reasons for these sanctions will be published in due course, and The FA will wait to review them before commenting further."
