Newcastle United fans have slammed Ivan Toney after the full reasons for his eight-month ban from football were released this morning.
The forward was diagnosed with a gambling addition after breaching 232 betting rules.
In the FA's bombshell written report, published today, it is revealed that Toney:
- Placed 13 bets on his own team between August 2017 and March 2018, with 11 of those made against Newcastle, his parent club, while on loan at Wigan
- Informed a friend that he would start his next club's match in March 2018
- Used other people's accounts to place bets despite initially denying the allegations
- Admitted to lying during his first interview with the FA when questioned about the gambling charges
- Suspected of having a separate mobile phone to place bets, which he did not hand to the FA during their investigation.
