The sports betting affair in which Lucas Paqueta was involved is definitively over for the West Ham Brazilian international. The English federation (FA) has just published a press release in which it finds the player guilty of two offenses, but announces a very light sanction.

“An independent regulatory commission has sanctioned West Ham United FC player Lucas Paqueta for two proven breaches of FA Rule F3. The player has denied two charges of failing to answer questions and provide information as part of the FA’s investigation into the rule breaches. However, both breaches of FA Rule F3 were found to have been proven following a hearing. The regulatory commission has issued a reprimand and warning regarding the future conduct of Lucas Paqueta.”
