Forest striker charged by FA over betting breaches

Nottingham Forest striker Dexter Blackstock has been charged with "multiple breaches" of betting rules by the Football Association, reports BBC Sport. FA rules say a player "shall not bet, either directly or indirectly" on matches involving themselves or their team as well as the competition they play in or have played in.

The 27 year old has until Monday, 28 April to respond to the charge.

He played only three times for Forest this term before joining Leeds on loan.

Blackstock was then ruled out for the rest of the season with a knee injury in December.
