MLS enforces life bans after two players bet on matches, including their own teams

MLS banned Derrick Jones and Yaw Yeboah for life after an investigation found they gambled on soccer, including games involving their own teams (Jones and Columbus Crew; Yeboah and LAFC/Columbus), during the 2024–25 seasons.
