Former England and Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes has been fined £8,000 after admitting breaking Football Association betting rules.
Scholes was charged after it was alleged that he placed 140 bets on football matches between 17 August 2015 and 12 January 2019.
The FA also warned him as to his future conduct.
“I would like to apologise and I understand and fully accept the fine imposed by the FA,” said Scholes.
“It was a genuine mistake and was not done with any deliberate intention to flout the rules.
“I wrongly believed that as long as there was no personal connection between me and any of the matches that I bet upon, then there would be no issue.
“However I understand now that this is not the case and I should have taken steps to verify this at the time.”
