Oops

On Tuesday Nicolò Fagioli, the Juventus midfielder, was handed a 12-month suspension by the Italian FA, with five months suspended, after his admission of a broadly comparable breach of the rules. Fagioli was also fined almost £11,000 and agreed to a minimum of six month’s therapy to address his gambling addiction.

Tonali’s agent, Guiseppe Riso, has said his client has a gambling problem and faces “the biggest challenge” of a hitherto gilded career. “Sandro is shocked,” said Riso. “He knows he has made a mistake. I hope this experience will help save his life and also the life of others with the same addictions.”

Do sports people who play top line sports not make enough money? Or is it they are bored?

Not sure on the wicket he is on $$ wise but it is the old adage that each of them could feed a starving community with probably a month’s wages.

Fuck em I say! Let them rot on their bank accounts and let’s not treat them as superheroes as quite obviously, they are mere mortals (bad ones at that)

Yeah, but gambling is an addiction though, a disease. It make no difference how much you earn, just the scale of your wager. :man_shrugging:
