Ivan Toney placed bets on Newcastle United to LOSE while he was still under contract at the club, the Football Association has revealed. The Brentford striker was handed an eight-month football ban earlier this month after accepting 232 breaches of the FA's rules on betting.
The FA released written reasons for Toney's suspension on Friday, revealing how many and which matches the striker had placed bets on. The commission noted that none of the charges related to games where Toney could negatively impact his own team.
The 27-year-old has been found to have bet against his own team 13 times between 2017 and 2018, 11 of those being placed against Newcastle while Toney was away from the club on loan.
