Madrid, Spain /
to Atletico Madrid there exists gambling scandal for which the English footballers, Kieran Trippier, was suspended for two months. The incredible thing is that the player put money into his own football future when he was signed by the Colchonero team in mid-2019.
Why was Trippier suspended from Atlético?
Although it sounds like a joke, Trippier bet a lot of money that it would be transferred from Tottenham to Atleti in the summer of 2019, when I already knew about the agreement between the clubs, but until Wednesday his behavior proved illegal, so it was disabled and will not play again until March 2021.
What is the suspension of Kieran Trippier?
The English federation has decided that the player is suspended immediately and until February 28, 2021 of all official competitions worldwide, which means that Trippier will miss 13 games with Atlético de Madrid: 11 in LaLiga, one in the Champions League and one in the Cup. He is not allowed to train either.
As the offense was committed when it was still legally owned by Tottenham, this federation is empowered to punish it and apply the penalty to any other football entity, in this case the Royal Spanish Federation.
