Just looked at the Regulatory Commission's findings, pretty damning for the FA - seems they were mostly making it up as they went along. They had to admit that almost none of the evidence they were relying on was impartial, such as their claim that his bookings were suspicious.
The Commission said:
"we do in any event consider the suggestion that the betting patterns, said by The FA to be the cornerstone of its case, emerge from a random passing of “hot tips” or perceived “inside information” within Brazil as the more
likely explanation."
Charges that he failed to co-operate were found to be proven and this is what the FA have written on their website:
"The Regulatory Commission will decide an appropriate sanction for the breaches of FA Rule F3 that were found proven..."
However, they are clutching at straws, as the Commision had this to say:
"...allied to matters such as The FA’s unwillingness to hear what the Player had to say once he had been provided with all the information from the first interview at the start of the second interview... any sanction imposed will be at the lower end of the scale.
Thinking of our case, is it fanciful to believe that the cunts at the PL and FA are equally incompetent?
