Former Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge has been handed a worldwide four-month ban from all football-related activity for breaching betting regulations. DanielSturridge Liverpool Football Soccer
The suspension comes after the English Football Association won an appeal against a two-week ban and £75,000 fine given to Sturridge in July of last year.
The former England international was accused of passing on inside information on potential transfer moves in January 2018.“Daniel Sturridge has been suspended from all football and football-related activity from today until the end of 17 June 2020,” the FA said in a statement. “In relation to the sanction, the Appeal Board agreed with The FA that the penalty originally imposed on Mr Sturridge was unduly lenient and therefore increased his effective playing ban from two weeks to four months.Sturridge, 30, began his career at Manchester City before moving to Chelsea in 2009.
He also led the line for England at the 2014 World Cup and Euro 2016 among 26 caps for his country, the last of which came in 2017. The rest of his time at Liverpool was largely derailed by injury, although he did make 27 appearances last season as Jurgen Klopp’s men won the Champions League and missed out on the Premier League by just a point to Manchester City.In this article:
