The Football Association (FA) is currently investigating the possibility of a global ban on betting for Brentford striker Ivan Toney following his suspension. The 25-year-old was suspended by the FA in October 2020 after he was found to have breached betting rules.

Toney had placed bets on a number of football matches, including those involving his own team. This is a breach of the FA’s rules which state that players are not allowed to bet on any football match in which they are participating or have any influence over the outcome.

The FA has now launched an investigation into whether a global ban on betting for Toney is necessary. This would mean that Toney would not be able to place bets on any football matches, regardless of whether he is playing in them or not.

The investigation is being conducted by the FA’s Integrity Unit, which is responsible for monitoring and investigating any potential breaches of the FA’s rules. The unit has the power to impose sanctions on players who are found to have breached the rules, including suspensions and fines.

It is unclear at this stage what action the FA will take against Toney, but it is likely that a global ban on betting for him will be imposed. This would be a significant punishment for the player, as it would mean that he would not be able to place bets on any football matches, regardless of whether he is playing in them or not.

The investigation into Toney’s betting activities is ongoing and it is unclear when a decision will be made. However, it is clear that the FA is taking this matter very seriously and is determined to ensure that all players adhere to the rules and regulations set out by the governing body.
