The Football Association has issued an official announcement accusing West Ham United midfielder Paquita of violating the Football Association's betting rules. Pacquita himself completely denied the gambling charges and said he would do his best to clear his name. The Post reported that if the accusation is finally established, Pacquita may face a ban of up to 10 years.
The FA accused Paquita of trying to directly affect the process, behavior or other aspects of these games in the past four games, deliberately seeking the referee to give him a yellow card to influence the gambling market for improper purposes, so as to make one or more people profit from gambling.
Just three years ago, former Reading player Kennan Isaac ended his career by being suspended for 10 years in the first round of the FA Cup because he deliberately received a yellow card to affect the game process and affect the gambling market for improper purposes.
According to the Daily Mail, this incident may lead to the collapse of his plan to move to Manchester City. Paquita can still participate in the game normally until the final investigation results are found. The investigation may take several months.
