Kieran Trippier charged after allegedly breaching betting rules

The Football Association charged English international and Atletico Madrid defender Kieran Trippier with misconduct after he allegedly breached FA's betting rules.

The 29-year-old allegedly broke the rules in July 2019 and has until May 18 to respond to charges.

Trippier responded to the charge, according to BBC Sport's Simon Stone, saying: "While a pro footballer, I have at no stage placed football related bets or received financial benefit from others betting."

The defender joined Atletico Madrid last summer after a successful spell at Tottenham. He also starred for England at the 2018 World Cup.

In March, former Liverpool star Daniel Sturridge was given a four-month worldwide ban after being found guilty of breaking betting rules.
