MLS has imposed lifetime bans on Yaw Yeboah and Derrick Jones after an investigation found they bet on soccer matches, including games involving their own teams.
Major League Soccer (MLS) has handed lifetime bans to Ghanaian international Yaw Yeboah and former Columbus Crew midfielder Derrick Jones after an investigation found they engaged in extensive gambling on soccer matches. The league said the players, who were placed on administrative leave in October, bet on games involving their own teams during the 2024 and 2025 seasons.
“In one instance, both players bet on Jones to draw a yellow card during an October 19, 2024, match, which he received,” MLS said. The league added the players likely shared confidential information with other bettors about plans to incur yellow cards but found “no evidence… that suggested any of these betting activities affected the outcome of a match.”
