The FA said an independent regulatory commission proved four violations, and Trippier was also fined $ 94,000, but dismissed three allegations during a personal hearing.

Atletico Madrid defender Kieran Trippier has been banned from playing football for 10 weeks for violating the betting rules in the English Football Association penalty, which is applied worldwide.
The misconduct, which Trippier denied, occurred in July 2019, the month the English Tottenham international went to Atletico, and was linked to information about his transfer being used for betting.
The FA said an independent regulatory commission had proven four violations, in which Trippier was also fined $ 94,000 (£ 70,000), but dismissed three allegations during a personal hearing.
“I want to make it clear that while I am a professional footballer, at no stage have I placed any football-related bets nor have I received any financial benefit from others who bet,” Trippier said after being indicted in May.

The ban takes effect immediately and will deprive right-back Atletico who have played every minute of 13 league games as long as he tries to stay in first place in the Spanish league.
But the club said the Spanish Football Federation had not yet notified him of the suspension, so he did not consider Trippier available. Atletico’s next game is only on December 30 against Getafe.
But the FA said the ban has been in effect worldwide since Wednesday after reporting to FIFA.
Currently, Trippier is suspended for the first game of the Champions League against Chelsea in the round of 16 in February. He played a full 90 minutes in all six games in the group stage.
The ban expires before the performance of the English national team follows.
The FA Trippier Rule was found guilty of: “When a participant provides any other person with any football-related information that a participant has obtained based on their position in the game and which is not publicly available at the time, the participant violates this rule when any of this information is used by that other person for betting or in connection with it. “
