He didn't bet on any Spurs games, just neutral games. Demechelis betted on City games and games he was involved in.

It was being reported earlier that he's specifically being charged under section E82:

(2) (a) A Participant shall not bet, either directly or indirectly, or instruct, permit,
cause or enable any person to bet on –
(i) the result, progress, conduct or any other aspect of, or
occurrence in, a football match or competition:
(A) in which the Participant is participating, or has
participated in that season; or
(B) in which the Participant has any influence, either direct
or indirect;

City played twice during the dates mentioned, against West Ham & Everton.

However, it's now being reported that he was betting on overseas games...

If bet on matches he played in then he is looking at a substantial ban.

If bet on matches he played in then he is looking at a substantial ban.

Probably the end of his career given his age and shitness. Although maybe the shitness is more sinister...

 

[spursfan77]

And yet I get the feeling that the media still think that the game in this country is clean. I doubt demichelis is the only one doing it.

 

[Gassin's finest]

If bet on matches he played in then he is looking at a substantial ban.

Would also explain why he's so shite...

If they lose him they'll become stronger.
