Michel Platini does not mince words against the architects of the new football betting scandal: disbarment for the culprits. “Football betting? When there are things like this – he argued – the biggest responsibility lies with the players, and for this they should be banned for life. These things kill football and the essence of this sport”.
Sacrosanct words to subscribe to 101%. However, it is to be hoped that the various national federations do not turn a deaf ear and that they are preparing to adjust and tighten the penalties envisaged for sporting offenses such as those which, on a recurring basis, generate football betting scandals.
