This is about the midfielder from Sporting Kansas City, 26-year-old Felipe Hernández, who had already been penalized in 2021 for the same issue.
USA.- The Major League Soccer of the United States is known for its strict policies aimed at maintaining transparency in the game. Therefore, players who engage in practices that harm transparency are immediately sanctioned.
Such is the case of the 26-year-old midfielder from Sporting Kansas City, Felipe Hernández, a Colombian soccer player whose contract with the league was terminated for violating the league's betting policies.
In Hernández's case, this is the second time he has been involved in such an issue. In 2021 he was penalized for breaching “integrity rules and conduct standards” of the MLS and had to wait until the beginning of 2022 to play again, provided he stayed away from gambling.

After a thorough investigation by the body in charge of Major League Soccer, it was determined that the Colombian had once again violated the league's betting policies.
Furthermore, as it was a case of recidivism, the decision was made to terminate his contract, specifying that he will be eligible for reinstatement from January 1, 2026 provided that the appropriate application is made to the Commissioner's office.
The results will be announced on October 24 in London.
