Reboceros de La Piedad, a group in Mexico's Second Division, discovered and fired several players for their role in helping to promote the use of betting, which is still a problem in different other categories of soccer.

The team's wearing director, Arturo Gonzalez, stated that seven people had been found to be involved in this illegal activity and that they wanted to have an impact on the La Piedad team's results.

The director gave the names of the seven Reboceros players who have already been fired from the club: Axel Paul Diaz ( defender ), Cristian Flores Vazquez ( goalkeeper ), Nestor Bucio Ortiz ( midfielder ), Erick Ramirez ( defender ), Christopher Antonio Cortez ( forward ), Sergio Elias Medel ( midfielder ), and Jesus Magana ( defender ). Paul Diaz is the main planner, and the first four participants named are immediately involved in the match-fixing. The other three were aware of the offense but did not report it, leading to their departure, especially since they had been given opportunities to play and one of them played against the La Piedad vs. La Paz game's goal. The official added that two more people are being looked into, but they withdrew their labels to avoid putting them in danger, especially because these young men find it lucrative to engage in this kind of crime. Even more so when some of the participants were able to get up to$ 40, 000 pesos ( more than$ 2, 000 dollars ), while others received benefits of a different kind. For instance, they failed to score the number of goals they had promised in their most recent match against Colima, forcing them to pay$ 100, 000 rupees to the parties who offered the deal. The fact that the bookmakers are connected to organized crime institutions further aggravates the situation. The safety of those involved is in danger. As evidenced by the Heroes de Zaci FC team's case, which had its players abducted in Texcoco and received bodily harm threats afterward if they failed to meet the demands. Reboceros de La Piedad's management acknowledged that some players are being drawn by these scammers because they have missed their monthly payments. They came to the realization that while the team has a clubhouse with meals ( three per day ), internet access, and cable, it does not in any way justify the crimes being committed. The director stated that in this situation, people have not been threatened, in contrast to Heroes de Zaci FC. Instead, they think that the people are drawn to them by the large sums of money offered, and they find it simple to destroy their teammates ' performances in order to satisfy the demands of the players. While the team and Liga Premier are continuing their investigation, Arturo Gonzalez warns that they will "go to the very close. "
