Ivan Toney, a striker for Brentford, has been identified as gambling dependent.This information comes after the football player was found guilty of breaking the betting laws.
Toney tried to hide his gambling habits, thus the Football Association first sought to impose a 15-month suspension on him. However, after a psychiatry specialist testified before the FA's regulatory commission and disclosed that Toney had a gambling addiction, his sentence was lowered to eight months. In addition to betting on football games, it has been shown that Toney frequently backed his own club to win. He was discovered to have bet on himself to score in games at a time when the public would not have been aware of his inclusion in the matchday squad.
