On July 18, 2019, the Football Association (FA) announced that Daniel Sturridge, a former Liverpool player, had been banned and fined for breaching betting rules. The ban and fine were the result of a commission's findings, which the FA disagreed with and has chosen to appeal.
Sturridge's ban and fine are set to take effect from July 31, but he can resume playing after that date. The FA's decision to appeal the commission's findings suggests that they do not agree with the outcome of the case.
