Gambling addiction diagnosis reduced Ivan Toney’s suspension

The written reasons for the eight-month betting ban imposed on the Brentford forward were published today and it found Toney had bet on himself to score in addition to betting on his own club to lose during a four-year period.

An independent regulatory commission imposed Toney’s sanctions, which included a £50,000 fine, following a personal hearing and he is not able to train with club side Brentford until 17 September. “The commission finds that a significant reduction should be made to reflect the diagnosed gambling addiction identified by Dr Hopley,” the written reasons document said.
