    TWO ARMENIAN REFEREES BANNED FOR MATCH-FIXING

    The New Age Online, South Africa
    Aug 7 2013

    Two Armenian referees have been suspended for match-fixing after
    they admitted attempting to manipulate a Europa League qualifier,
    UEFA announced Wednesday.

    Match referee Andranik Arsenyan and assistant, Hovhannes Avagyan,
    both admitted to the Armenian football federation (HFF) trying to
    fix the second leg of the first qualifying round match between Inter
    Turku of Finland and Vikingur of the Faroes on July 11 this year.

    Vikingkur won the game 1-0 to take the tie 2-1 on aggregate.

    "The UEFA betting fraud detection system (BFDS) which monitors over
    32,000 matches across Europe, including all first-division and UEFA
    competition games had detected suspicious betting patterns around this
    fixture, and this prompted the start of an investigation by UEFA to
    which the HFF contributed closely," said a UEFA statement.

    The case will be dealt with by UEFA's Control and Disciplinary Body
    on August 22.
