Horse racing could be a sport of bettors but this game also has some rules and regulations, perhaps there is list of guidelines which every Horse racing punter has to follow including his genuine license to provoke others to place racing bets. Mark Wilson 33; the ex-Manchester United soccer player, Michael Chopra 28, Andrew Heffernan , and James Coppinger 31 are among nine peoples on whom British Racing Authority BHA has levied some charges related to illegal horse racing practices. Andrew has been charged of wrongly exchanging information related to winning chances of a horse to one or more betting exchange account holders – directly or indirectly. The races which are suspected to be fixed or malpracticed were belonged to early 2011, and Andrew, who now races in Australia, is subjected to serious allegations about his monetary rewards offer to one or more betting exchange account holders in return of believing something that he wanted. Their charges also include offering bribe to jockey. Since they all are assumed to be involved in a fraudulent racing practice, they can face a complete racing ban for a three years term, if proved.

Michael Chopra has long been known for his gambling addiction for which he is also undergoing a treatment, but all of a sudden, he is finally caught by BHA. Last year, when he lost around 1.5 Million Pounds on horse racing, he said, “Your first bet’s your worst bet. As the years have come along and I’ve earned more money, I’ve started to gamble more. I was gambling up to £20,000 a day at times. As a gambler, you want to be playing to get the appearance money. I was playing through injury to cover a debt.”

BHA alleged these unlicensed individuals of “using information they had received directly or indirectly from the jockey or other licensed person relating to the prospects in the race of the named horse.” BHA admits that these charges may take a long time to investigate and prove in the court of law, yet it said, “This process has taken significant time and resources. However, investigations such as these are very similar to fraud investigations and as such are complex and time consuming.”

Anyhow, doesn’t matter if any of these soccer players will be convicted for their involvement in said charges, but what is important at this time is, they all belong to big Soccer clubs and one of them is on loan too. So, it would be interesting to see the coming developments to this story.
