[英超]紐卡素中場哥爾碧克（Jack Colback）有機會因涉及賭波被處罰 [復制鏈接]

Jack Colback investigated for breaking betting rules, according to reports
• Midfielder not thought to have bet on matches involving his side
• FA understood to be looking into allegations against Newcastle player



The Newcastle United midfielder Jack Colback is being investigated over allegedly breaking betting rules, Press Association Sport understands.

Gambling rules introduced in 2014 forbid players and coaches from betting on any footballing activity worldwide.

Colback could now face Football Association charges, even though it is understood that the match in which he allegedly broke these rules has no bearing on Newcastle’s fight against relegation from the Premier League.

It is FA policy not to comment on such cases until an individual is charged. But Press Association Sport understands that the FA is looking into allegations that betting rules have been breached.

Colback, 26, has been a regular for Newcastle since joining in 2014 from Sunderland, and he played in the club’s goalless draw at Aston Villa on Saturday.

Manchester City’s Martin Demichelis accepted a charge that he broke betting rules earlier this season. The Argentina centre-back, 35, was accused of 12 breaches of FA rule E8 concerning matches played between 22 and 28 January this year.

【now.com體育】足球界一向鼓勵「踢波不賭波」，不過紐卡素中場哥爾碧克卻漠視這規條，或要接受處分。

哥爾碧克（Jack Colback）自2014年由新特蘭轉會到紐卡素之後一直是隊中主力，周六與維拉互交白卷的比賽當中他亦有上陣。不過這位「喜鵲」主力球員卻傷了球迷的心，事關他有機會因涉及賭波而被罰。

消息指這位26歲的球員參與了賭波活動，雖然他所下注的比賽與紐卡素無關之餘，就連與紐卡素護級的比賽亦無下注，不至於涉及「打假波」的罪名。不過因為自2014/15球季起英國足協已經禁止球員參與全球任何與足球有關的賭博活動，今次哥爾碧克知法犯法，看來亦難逃處罰。

球員參與賭波而被調查的事件其實亦不罕見，就如早幾個月曼城中堅迪米捷利斯（Martin Demichelis）就被英足總起訴12項非法賭波的控罪。今次哥爾碧克如果被判有罪，有可能要被罰款及停賽。
