Premier League CEO wants ban on betting for players

Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore admits he cannot rule out the idea that match-fixing may have taken place over the course of the history of the league and revealed he would like to see a blanket ban on players betting on football markets.

Numerous counts of match-fixing allegations have surfaced in the last month, ranging from non-league football through to players plying their trade in the second tier of the English game.
