The English Football Association (FA) has suspended Daniel Sturridge from all football related activity until the end of June 17, 2020 following an investigation into betting misconduct, with FIFA also confirming that the former Liverpool striker's ban applies worldwide.
Sturridge, most recently of Trabzonspor in Turkey, was originally handed a £75,000 fine and a six-week suspension back in July of 2019, with four of those weeks having been pushed back until August 31, 2020.
However, it has now been decided that the Regulatory Commission's punishment was “unduly lenient”. The striker has seen the originally fine doubled to £150,000 and, effective immediately, will not be allowed to participate in any football activity for four months.
