Sporting Kansas City will not have midfielder Felipe Hernandez for the rest of the season after Major League Soccer announced on Friday he was suspended without pay for gambling on MLS matches.
The announcement explained Hernandez violated the league's gambling integrity rules and standards of conduct and had been suspended since July while the MLS and law enforcement investigated him.
He disclosed to the team in July that he was worried about his own safety because of gambling debts, which kickstarted the investigation that resulted in this punishment.
