Wenger - Kick betting out!


The Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says that he supports the Premier League and Professional Footballers’ Association in their quest to get betting on Youth games, involving players as young as 14, banned completely.

Two top bookies, that also sponsor Premier League clubs, have been offering in-play betting on academy games.

Wenger wants it stopped. He said: “I don’t agree with this because the corruption potential in youth football is even higher. I think it is better if betting is focused on professional games.

“I am a bit old-fashioned. I hate corruption and in general I am suspicious of this kind of thing.

“Something destroyed me last week. A Belgian doctor conducted a survey where he asked 2,000 athletes if they would accept being doped and winning the gold medal at the next Olympics, even if it meant they would be dead five years later.

“How many said yes? 50 per cent! That is outrageous.”

I think he feels quite strongly about this!
