Ivan Toney laughs off FA charge as Brentford star dances and parties with his pal and former Newcastle team-mate hours after learning he could be hit with a six-month ban for breaching betting rules 232 times
Ivan Toney has been pictured outside for the first time since being charged with misconduct by the FA for breaking betting rules.
After Sportsmail revealed he was being investigated by the FA, the Brentford striker was charged with 232 betting breaches in four years, after which Callum Wilson was chosen ahead of Toney as Harry Kane’s back-up in England’s Qatar World Cup squad.
It is understood that a report triggered by the probe is some 2,800 pages long. Toney became a contender for Gareth Southgate’s Three Lions squad after a blistering start to the season, with 10 goals in 14 league games.
However, earlier this month it emerged he was at the centre of a seven-month FA probe.
Toney is not thought to have bet against his own team, an offence which could trigger a lifetime ban.
However, if he is found to have placed bets on his own side to win, a sizeable six-month ban is among the potential punishments.

The claims relate to the period from February 2017…
