Two Thai referees have been handed provisional bans after being put under the investigation into the alleged match-fixing by the Asian Football Confederation.
The disciplinary committee of the Asian football’s ruling body imposed a provisional 60-day ban on Thanom Borikut and Chaiya Mahapab and they also made an application to the world governing body Fifa to have the suspension extended worldwide.
"The Football Association of Thailand has been notified of the decisions today," read an AFC statement.
"The AFC has a zero tolerance towards match manipulation. The AFC works to combat match-fixing on the continent through its three-point strategy of prevention, detection and response."
