Ivan Tawny, a star forward who moved to Saudi Arabia last summer, has once again found himself at the epicenter of the scandal.. The footballer was arrested by London police after an incident in one of the capital's night clubs.
According to reports, the conflict ended for a week. A verbal altercation between a football player and another person escalated into a physical confrontation, at which point Tony almost hit his opponent with a headbutt.
The security guards were eager to intervene in order to disarm the participants in the battle, after which law enforcement officers were called to the scene.
The police confirmed the fact that a man was detained on suspicion of an attack and committed bodily harm.. Eyewitnesses say the Al-Ahli attacker was taken out of the club in handcuffs and put in a police van.
For Tawny, this is a major blow to his reputation after he previously received an 8-month disqualification for violating betting rules. Neither the Gravian's representatives nor the Saudi Arabian club officially commented on the situation. The investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident is troubling.
