Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge has been charged with allegedly breaching betting rules in the month of January 2018, when he joined West Bromwich Albion on loan, and Baggies fans have been expressing their anger with the 29-year-old on Twitter.A Liverpool spokesman (via BBC Sport) said that Sturridge had “stated categorically that he has never gambled on football” in response to the allegations, but footballers are also banned from providing information to others that may enable them to place a bet.With the exact situation still unknown, we cannot speculate what the punishment could be if Sturridge is found guilty. However, it could range from the £22,000 fine that former Manchester City defender Martin Demichelis received in May 2016 to the 18-month ban that Joey Barton was handed in 2017.[brid autoplay="true" video="327140" player="12034" title="Rafa's Pub Facts Leicester Trump Man City Chelsea & Liverpool"]The injury-prone striker spent the second half of last season on loan at the Hawthorns but he only managed six appearances, just two of which were starts, in all competitions and failed to score a single goal as the Baggies were relegated from the Premier League.Many West Brom fans on Twitter went on to joke that the Liverpool man had placed bets on them to go down after what has to be one of the worst transfer deals in the Baggies' recent history.
