The committee ruled that there was insufficient evidence to prove that the booking was intentionally sought for gambling purposes.<\/p>\n<p>The decision provided great relief to West Ham, who feared the possibility of losing one of his most influential players to a long-term halt.<\/p>\n<p>However, the ruling was not entirely in favor of Paketa. The spot-fixing element of the lawsuit was dismissed, but the committee concluded that the midfielder had not fully cooperated with investigators.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, he was found guilty of not providing a comprehensive answer to the question and withholding the material requested during the probe.
