Football Australia bans four players over match-fixing and betting conduct
Football Australia imposed bans on former A-League players Riku Danzaki, Clayton Lewis and Kearyn Baccus, and amateur player Yuta Hirayama, reportedly. Danzaki and Hirayama received seven-year bans and AUD 5,000 fines each; Lewis and Baccus received minimum four-year bans after admitting conduct that corrupted betting outcomes. The report says all four chose not to appeal.
The sanctions affect player eligibility and document disciplinary action linked to betting-related match manipulation.
