Following a personal hearing with an independent regulatory commission, and a subsequent Football Association appeal, Swansea City player liaison officer Huw Lake has been suspended from all football and football-related activities for 12 months and fined £1,500 following misconduct in relation to betting.
The suspension – which is backdated to March 25 2024 – comes after Huw admitted to breaches of FA rules related to placing bets on football.
Huw admitted the offences upon being charged and he and the club have cooperated fully with the subsequent investigation by the football authorities.
He initially received a 12-month ban – nine months of which was suspended – but the FA chose to appeal that decision.
The full judgement has been published on the FA’s website.
The club supported Huw throughout the FA’s proceedings and will continue to do so.
Swansea City will make no further comment regarding this matter.
FA comment. Full judgement.
Swansea City’s player liaison officer has been suspended from all football and football-related activity for 12 months and fined £1,500 following misconduct in relation to betting.
The FA alleged that Huw Lake had placed 2,476 bets on football matches between 03 April 2018 and 24 September 2023, and he subsequently admitted to this charge.
An independent Regulatory Commission imposed a 12-month ban from all football and football-related activity, with three months to be served immediately and the remainder to be suspended until the end of the 2024/25 season, and £1,500 fine.
The FA appealed against the independent Regulatory Commission’s decision on the grounds that it came to a decision which no reasonable such body could have come; and imposed a penalty, award or sanction that was so unduly lenient as to be unreasonable.
An independent Appeal Board found that the decision to suspend nine months of the suspension was unreasonable and/or so unduly lenient as to be unreasonable, and it substituted a 12-month suspension to be served in its entirety from 25 March 2024.
The written reasons for both the independent Appeal Board and Regulatory Commission’s decisions can be read below.

Something like 20% of injuries detected by clubs aren’t even known by the player. Once detected they are then deemed injured. It’s an insurance thing primarily.
Me and my mate here were just talking about that. Remember the likes Derek Dougan ? Bowles, even going back to the early days of the club after Petty was shown the door, players just played on and wouldn’t have a clue regards what injuries they didn’t know about. 😂
Times change. |

Oxford the closer trip. Winning 2-0.

Seems he is now leaving after stating he wanted to stay until 2026.
Another coach being booted because he has different ideals to the owners ?
That’s what ‘mutually agreed’ means to me in football. |

at 18:50 13 May 2024
Not sure if it was ‘slashed’ as originally reported, however two men have been arrested after being confronted about chanting ‘Galatasaray’ and singing about knifing Leeds fans in Turkey.
Whatever it was this is another sign of cowardice which is becoming acceptable.
No charges yet and another man is sought. |
