Cumbrian footballer handed 42-month ban over betting offences
CUMBRIA, ENGLAND, JUL 09 – Bowman admitted placing 6,397 bets including on matches he played in, breaching Football Association rules and resulting in a 42-month ban from all football activities.
- Ryan Bowman, the 33-year-old former Carlisle United striker, received a 42-month ban from the FA after admitting to placing 6,397 football bets over an eight-year span ending in September 2023.
- The ban followed an independent FA commission's investigation on March 13, which found Bowman committed a very significant breach of Rule E8, prohibiting players from betting on matches.
- Bowman placed bets across multiple clubs including Exeter, Shrewsbury, and Cheltenham, with some bets involving his own teams and even one made from the substitutes' bench during a match in January 2023.
- The commission reported that Bowman placed a total of £203,758.57 in bets and incurred an overall loss of £21,548.72. Bowman acknowledged his wrongdoing, admitting to making all 6,397 bets and stating that he had seriously erred in judgment.
- Bowman's ban, reduced from four years, remains effective until September 2028, and the case underscores the FA's strict stance on betting integrity within professional football.
