West Ham's Paqueta cleared of spot-fixing charges

West Ham's Lucas Paqueta cleared of spot-fixing charges by an independent commission after FA probe into deliberate booking allegations. The 27-year-old midfielder faced a potential lifetime ban over four charges related to Premier League matches in 2022 and 2023. However, the regulatory commission found the charges "not proven," though two counts of failing to cooperate with the investigation were upheld, with sanctions pending.
