I just checked the article link provided above, and I must confess, it seems the story is not complete, because all I could see is that Bellomo who was on bench was expelled for protesting with the linesman while his team was already winning with 3-0, But the reason for the protest was not mention, as I'm sure there must always be a reason for every action or reaction a person makes. And secondly, I also saw he has already been charged by the Federal Prosecutor's Office of the Football Association opened for suspected multiple bets fraud, of which the outcome of the bet is still not mention, because who knows if his prediction was that he will have a red card on the game? And the referee just ignorantly contributed to making his bet successful. Who knows.. But however, I hope to see what the outcome of the investigation will turn out to be.
Exactly what I was looking for that I had to re-read the article to be sure I didn't miss out on that area but it's quite obvious they omitted that part. For an independent investigation these are all aspects that will be looked at to arrive to an unbiased conclusion. However, the action of Bellomo doesn't seem to be one of a coincidence with the red card plus such pulled bet for that option from bettors especially with the fact that it's his club that was winning the match with 3:0 already. It's not everyday we see players getting a red card from bench for misconduct particularly of this nature which is why all circumstance points to a betting fraud. Something doesn't just seem right about it.
