Major League Soccer has issued lifetime bans to Derrick Jones and Yaw Yeboah for violating the league's gambling policy.
MLS said that after an investigation, the league "concluded that the players engaged in extensive gambling on soccer, including on their own teams, during the 2024 and 2025 seasons.”
The league initially put the pair on administrative leave in October 2025, saying only that they had potentially violated unspecified league rules.
Jones and Yeboah were teammates on the Columbus Crew before the latter joined LAFC ahead of the 2025 season. Yeboah, 28, currently plays for Chinese side Qingdao Hainiu while Jones, 29, is without a club.
MLS said the league received suspicious betting alerts and retained the law firm Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler LLP to conduct an investigation.
