Fa rule f2

FA Rule F3: Following the statement posted by the Football Association (FA) charging Lucas Paqueta about alleged breaches of betting regulations, reports suggested that West Ham fears that the Brazilian’s career may be over.

According to a report by The Guardian, the Brazilian midfielder may be asked to serve a multi-year ban which could ultimately be served at the expense of his career.

The governing body of English football in a statement said, "He directly sought to influence the progress, conduct, or any other aspect of, or occurrence in these matches by intentionally seeking to receive a card from the referee for the improper purpose of affecting the betting market in order for one or more persons to profit from betting."
