Men's football news
Written by: John
Lewes FC can confirm that following an independent Regulatory Commission hearing relating charges of a breach of FA Rule E8, our player Danny Bassett has been issued an eight-month ban from football, effective immediately.
We wish to repeat our dismay regarding the lack of educational resources and guidance provided to players at semi-professional level via the FA and clubs.
We would also once again highlight the cruel irony that players are mandated to carry gambling advertising on their kit, even at Isthmian Premier League level.
As a club, we wish to express our utmost commendation of Danny who, since being notified of the charges, has responded in an exemplary manner in seeking to offer guidance relating to his own experience to his colleagues across the semi-professional game. We are enormously proud of Danny and feel privileged to call him a Lewes player.
