Swiss side Sion report matchfixing suspicions

"FC Sion have been informed that, on the afternoon before the game against Grasshoppers Zurich, information is said to have circulated in betting shops that the game would be manipulated and it would be better to gamble on the Zurich team," the club said in a statement on their website.

"This information has been handed over by Sion FC to the federal prosecution service," the club added. Sion lost last Wednesday's game 2-0.

"If the suspicion turns out to be well-founded, Sion will show a no-tolerance policy to any involved person.

"For the time being it is better not to jump to any premature conclusions."
