The 27-year-old striker was given an eight-month ban and a £50,000 fine by an independent disciplinary committee this week, after <strong>pleading guilty</strong> in February to the bulk of the 262 betting accusations filed by the FA last year.</p>



<p id="block-f369f308-a596-4de6-bdd0-9663d1e476b7">The FA withdrew the remaining 60 counts against Toney after he confessed to 232 of them during Wednesday’s announcement of his sentence. A total of 13 times, the forward had wagered that <strong>his own team would lose.</strong></p>



<p id="block-d9df810a-39c1-4428-bb47-2acd9973264e">Following testimony from a doctor establishing his status as a<strong> ‘gambling addict’</strong>, an independent committee reduced his sentence to eight months. The length of the suspension will keep him off the field until January 16, 2024.</p>



<h2 id="block-037226e7-7c9f-49c9-8bb3-3d6b2315e3e4">What is FIFA 23’s final decision on Ivan Toney?</h2>



<p id="block-0aef48e9-a414-4643-aaff-e6e17c210605">Toney has promised to <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/gambling-addict-england-stars-provocative-six-word-remark-in-response-to-eight-month-suspension-20230526-BUS-4106.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">explain his side of the story shortly</a></strong> after the official grounds for his suspension were made public yesterday. To add an insult to injury, because of the ban, the English striker has just been booted from the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/fifa-23" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">FIFA 23</a></strong> video game.</p>



<p id="block-c9cf0419-3f4c-4667-833f-4513c361bd82">The Brentford club is no longer allowed to use Toney in its lineup. Supporters have taken to social media to share photos of the team without Toney after he was apparently deleted from FIFA 23 in the latest roster update by the developer, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ea-sports-fifa">EA Sports.</a></p>

FIFA 23 makes surprising decision about Ivan Toney's status in video game - Bolavip US

FIFA 23 makes surprising decision about Ivan Toney's status in video game


<p>Due to his documented gambling addiction, <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brentford" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Brentford</a></strong> striker <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ivan-toney" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ivan Toney</a></strong> had his suspension from the league shortened. The Football Association suspended the 27-year-old for <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/in-form-england-international-dealt-severe-blow-as-six-month-ban-looms-over-alleged-betting-scandal-20230519-BUS-1620.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">eight months</a></strong> because he had gambled against his own club.</p>



<p>The FA’s governing body heard testimony from a psychiatrist who ruled that the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/england" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">English international</a> had a <strong>gambling problem</strong> and should get the needed help for it. The commission agreed, and the outcome was an eight-month reduction in the original 11-month sentence.</p>



<p>According to the commission’s official rationale for the suspension on Friday, Toney acknowledged lying to the FA on many occasions throughout the course of their first conversations with him. On September 17, 2023, the 27-year-old may start serving the remainder of his ban by reporting back to his club for training.</p>



<h2>What did Ivan Toney say on Twitter?</h2>

<p>Professional football players are <strong>prohibited by FA regulations from placing wagers</strong> on any match, whether or not they are participating in that particular tournament. Toney acknowledged 232 violations of betting regulations, and it was discovered that 16 of his wagers were placed on his own squad to win, while<strong> 13 were placed on his team to lose.</strong></p>



<p>This week, Ivan Toney took to Twitter to address his eight-month ban for breaking Football Association betting rules. Toney’s first tweets since the inquiry began have sparked widespread interest in hearing his side of the tale.</p>



<p>The revelation prompted Toney to post on Twitter: <em><strong>“I’ll speak soon with no filter.”</strong></em></p>

<p>He first played for his country on March 26 against Ukraine at Wembley Stadium, replacing Harry Kane in the 81st minute as the Three Lions won, 2-0. The 27-year-old striker has scored 21 goals in all competitions this year, helping his side secure a top-10 <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/premier-league">Premier League</a></strong> finish in only their second season at the top level.</p>



<p>Despite widespread preseason predictions that Brentford would be among the league’s bottom dwellers, the Bees have instead thrived since their promotion last year. Instead, they have been able to pull off remarkable feats even while facing up against formidable opponents.</p>

<p>While it was great news that he had been called up to the England national team, and he is justifiably praised as one of the top attackers in the English top division, there is an obvious problem that has to be addressed. To wit: he will have to serve a lengthy suspension from playing.</p>



<p>As the prolific ace has now faced a disciplinary tribunal about 262 alleged betting offenses going back to 2017, it seems that the inquiry against him was nearing its end. Thus, the English Football Association (FA) announced an eight-month suspension and a £50,000 punishment for 232 violations of FA betting regulations.</p>



<p>The governing body said on Wednesday that Toney had been suspended with <strong>‘immediate effect’, </strong>meaning that he will be unable to play for either club or nation until January 16, 2024. The 27-year-old has been cautioned about his behavior going forward, as well.</p>



<p>In November 2022, the Brentford main man was struck with<strong> 232 counts of violating gambling regulations</strong>, and in December, he received 30 more counts. He has reportedly kept playing in the meantime but has now gone before a tribunal and confessed to some of the charges.</p>

<p>After another outstanding season, the former League One star has been linked to a move to a prominent Premier League club. However, his immediate future is uncertain owing to the result of his betting allegations, <strong>making a move doubtful</strong>.</p>
