I have been assisting the Football Association with their inquiries and will not be making any comments until the investigation is complete.

What are the rules on betting in football?

Football players, managers, coaches, club staff, directors and licensed agents are not allowed to bet on the game.

Any football match or competition that takes place anywhere in the world is not allowed for participants to bet on.

Any betting on football related matters such as the transfer of players, managerial appointments or team selection is banned.

It is against the law to give inside information to someone that uses it for betting. Injury or team selection news are examples of inside information that is not publicly available.

You can't use inside information to place a bet or tell someone else to do so. You can't give inside information to someone who uses it for betting.

Previous high-profile players punished for betting

Other high-profile players charged and subsequently found guilty of breaking FA betting rules include current England World Cup squad member Kieran Trippier, who was banned from football activity for 10 weeks for telling a friend to "lump on" the prospect of him joining Atleti Madrid before his.

He was punished for revealing inside information about a transfer. His punishment was increased to a four-month ban and a fine after it was found that he had ordered his brother to bet on a move to Sevilla.

An 18-month ban was given to Joey Barton after he placed over one thousand bets on football. He retired from playing football after being punished, but the term was reduced on appeal.

How had Brentford's season panned out before the World Cup break?

The position is 10th.

Ivan Toney is the top goal scorer.

The next three games are: West Ham, Spurs and Reds.

By the time the World Cup ended last month, there had been no talk of a second season syndrome for the Bees. They appear to have established themselves as part of the furniture in the top flight if it wasn't for the situation already.

They entered the break in the way that they did. After losing to Gillingham in the Carabao Cup, they went to the Etihad as outsiders but still came away with a deserved victory.

Ivan Toney was the center of attention that day. The fact that he was the league's second highest scoring Englishman with 10 goals, behind only Harry, left many questioning why he wouldn't be going to the World Cup.

It was revealed a few days later that Toney had been charged with over 200 alleged breeches of betting rules.

He was charged with a further 30 alleged breeches of FA betting rules after playing in a number of pre-season games.

The forward could face a lengthy ban if the allegations are proven to be true. The Bees will be looking over their shoulder with regards to developments in the saga given that he has scored 11 of their 26 goals so far this season. The man is Dan Long.
