West Ham midfielder Lucas Paqueta has been cleared of spot-fixing charges by an independent regulatory commission, the club announced on Thursday.
The Brazil international was charged with four alleged breaches of Football Association FA rules in relation to matches involving the Premier League side.
It was alleged the 27-year-old directly sought to influence games by intentionally seeking to receive a card from the referee for the improper purpose of affecting the betting market.
The four charges against Paqueta related to a game against Leicester in November 2022 and matches against Aston Villa, Leeds and Bournemouth in 2023.
He was facing the prospect of a lifetime ban if found guilty.
