British police have launched a second probe into alleged match-fixing in English football after a Sunday newspaper claimed a player told an undercover reporter he could guarantee certain events in a second division match.
The Sun on Sunday said it had evidence of a player saying he arranged a booking in a recent Championship match in which another player had received a $60,000 payment for getting a yellow card.
The same player allegedly boasted he could also "rig" Premier League games.
In a separate investigation, four people have been charged, including two players from an English semi-professional team, in connection with an alleged international illegal betting syndicate.
Earlier this year, an inquiry by European police uncovered a global betting scam run from Singapore.
The last major match-fixing scandal in England occurred in the mid-1960s when 10 players were found guilty.
