Paul Scholes has been fined £8,000 and warned about his future conduct after being found to have breached the Football Association's betting rules. The former Manchester United midfielder was alleged to have placed 140 bets on football matches between August 2015 and 2019, contrary to FA rule E8. A statement from Scholes read: "I accept last week's ruling. I would like to apologise and I understand and fully accept the fine imposed by the FA. "However I understand now that this is not the case and I should have taken steps to verify this at the time."
