First the Adebayor/van Persie scandal, then Diouf lying about the banana-throwing, now we have cheaters? It hasn't been a good week for footy.
UEFA, who promote the Champions League and Europa League, are currently investigating the possibility of betting scams for CL and EL ties. Involving mostly Eastern European teams who have little to no chance of advancing to the "payoff rounds," UEFA claims they are looking to cash-in early by losing.
I have attached a link for the full article from the Daily Mail:

I've long been weary of betting in football, especially since so many of the teams in the Premier League have shirt sponsors who are betting firms.
