Fanduel said that it has recently banned a bookie to heck the US Sprinter Gabi Thomas in a track competition.
The man was proud of online that his actions “loose gabi” and helped him win a $ 1,000 bet on Fanduel.
Thomas, a three -time Olympic gold medalist, posted on X that in the last weekend, in Philadelphia, “man shouted me around the track” and “individual insults shouted.”
The Grand Slam Track, who staged the event, said it is investigating “condemnable behavior”.
According to ESPN, the Grand Slam track said, “We are working to identify the person involved and will necessarily take appropriate action.” “We will implement additional safety measures to help prevent such incidents in the future. Let us not bear clear, low behavior in this way.”
The bookie has referred to himself as “Track and Field Bully” online.
Fanduel confirmed that he had informed the customer that he was banned from his platform.
“Fanduel condemns the strongest behavior directed towards athletes,” Fanduel’s spokesman said in a statement to ESPN. “Threatening or harassing athletes is unacceptable and there is no place in the game. This customer is no longer able to bet with Fanduel.”
Thomas, 28, won gold medals in 200-meter dash and 4×100-meter and 2024 Paris Summer Games in 4×400-meter relay.
