Manchester City
defender Martin Demichelis has been charged with misconduct in relation to
betting by the Football Association.
An FA statement read: "It is alleged the player
committed 12 breaches of FA Rule E8 concerning football matches between 22 January 2016 and 28
January 2016.
"He has until 5pm on 5 April 2016 to respond to the
charge."
A worldwide ban on betting on football came into force on
August 1, 2014 for all those involved in the game.
Rule E8 states: "A Participant shall not bet, either
directly or indirectly, or instruct, permit, cause or enable any person to bet
on - (i) the result, progress, conduct or any other aspect of, or occurrence
in, a football match or competition; or (ii) any other matter concerning or
related to football anywhere in the world, including, for example and without
limitation, the transfer of players, employment of managers, team selection or
disciplinary matters."
Players are also banned from knowingly providing inside
information to any other person for the purpose of betting and from promoting
betting activity.
