Uefa planning betting legislation
November 20th, 2009 by admin

Uefa has drawn up legislation to prevent all players, management and referees from betting on games.
European football’s governing body has acted in the wake of the match-fixing scandal in Germany.
In January, referee Robert Hoyzer admitted to being involved in fixing a number of matches for financial gain.
Since then the German Football Federation (DFB) has confirmed it is investigating 25 people in connection with match-rigging.
DFB president Gerhard Mayer-Vorfelder said: “Uefa wants to introduce a code of honour so that players, coaches, management and referees in Europe cannot bet on matches.
“It is not just a German problem. Italy, Romania and the Czech Republic have also experienced problems with manipulation.”
