    EUROPEAN SOCCER BODY SUSPENDS TWO OFFICIALS IN MATCH-FIXING CASE

    Bloomberg / Business Week
    Aug 7 2013

    By Peter-Joseph Hegarty

    European soccer's ruling body UEFA said it suspended two Armenian
    game officials in a Europa League match-fixing case.

    In a hearing at the Football Federation of Armenia, referee Andranik
    Arsenyan and assistant Hovhannes Avagyan admitted trying to fix a
    first qualifying round game last month between Finland's FC Inter
    Turku and Vikingur of the Faroe Islands, UEFA said.

    UEFA's betting fraud detection system, which monitors more than 32,000
    matches across Europe, detected suspicious betting patterns around the
    game, prompting an investigation by UEFA and the Armenian federation.

    UEFA's control and disciplinary body will hear the case at its Nyon,
    Switzerland, headquarters on Aug. 22. Vikingur won the second-leg
    match in Finland 1-0 for a 2-1 victory over two games.
