Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley has been suspended for at least a year, with additional time possible, after betting on games, according to the National Football League (NFL).
ATLANTA, Ga. — Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley has been suspended for at least a year, with additional time possible, after betting on games, according to the National Football League .
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced that Ridley has been suspended indefinitely for the incident which occurred during a five-day period in November 2021. Ridley reportedly made the bets away from the team facility while on the non-football illness list last season. The league said it found no evidence that any inside information was used or that any game was compromised in any way as a result of his actions. The NFL also said that no evidence was found suggesting any coaches, staff, teammates or other players were aware of Ridley's betting activities.There is nothing more fundamental to the NFL's success - and to the reputation of everyone associated with our league - than upholding the integrity of the game.
Ridley will be able to petition for reinstatement on or after Feb. 15, 2023. He may also appeal his suspension by filing a notice within the next three days.
