The harshest penalties have been imposed on two former Columbus Crew players.

U.S. media reports that Yaw Yeboah and Derrick Jones have been permanently banned from participating in MLS competitions.

After an investigation, it was revealed that over the past two years both players frequently engaged in betting, negatively affecting their team.

Although the players attempted to avoid risky behavior, such as only collecting yellow cards, the MLS officials still decided to conduct an investigation.

After hiring detectives, prohibited athlete activities were uncovered, leading to strict decisions.
