Bishop Charged With Betting Offences By FA - Ipswich Town News
Town midfielder Teddy Bishop has been charged with multiple breaches of the FA’s rules relating to betting.
A statement on the FA’s website reads: "Ipswich Town’s Edward Bishop has been charged for alleged multiple breaches of FA Rule E8 in relation to betting. The player has until 1st June 2015 to respond to the charge.”
Town media manager Steve Pearce told TWTD: "We are aware of the charge that Teddy faces but won’t be making any further comment until the result of the disciplinary procedure is known.”
Anyone involved in football in any capacity is banned from betting on matches anywhere under rules which were introduced at the start of the season.
The Town squad attended an FA talk at the training ground during pre-season in which the new rules were outlined to them.
Players previously found guilty of betting on football matches have received fines or in more serious cases suspensions.
