Six current or former British Basketball League (BBL) players have been handed fines and penalties related to match fixing and regulation breaches.
The penalties follow investigations conducted by the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) and the British Basketball Federation (BBF) led investigations which were supported by the Gambling Commission’s Sport Betting Intelligence Unit (SBIU).
Two players, Quincy Taylor and Charleston Dobbs, were sanctioned by the BBF with lifetime bans and fines. FIBA extended these sanctions globally. Three additional players - Shakem Johnston, Padiet Wang and Joshua McFolley - were also sanctioned by FIBA, with lifetime or long-term suspensions.
A further former player, Dean Wanliss, was fined and suspended for three years for betting on basketball matches between 2019-2021.
