FA launches investigation into thrown match
The Football Association has opened an investigation into The Independent's report yesterday that a footballer with a serious gambling problem has admitted to getting sent off deliberately after colluding with a bookmaker. The player owed the bookmaker ??50,000, a source familiar with the situation told The Independent, and the bookie wrote off the debt when the player collected his card, as arranged, having profited from gambling on it.

Isn't this the same type of thing that got Pete Rose banned from baseball or is it more like the Chicago Black Sox and 8 Men Out? It's a shame this type of thing happens in any sport.

It's not necessarily from this season. It's anyone who got thrown off the field in the past few years.
