Police have launched a new investigation into allegations of match-fixing in football.
The National Crime Agency (NCA) told Sky News it is looking at claims passed to them by the Sun on Sunday.
The paper says it has evidence of a player who claimed he could arrange a yellow card in the Championship in return for thousands of pounds.
An NCA statement said: "We can confirm that the Sun on Sunday has passed material from its own investigation to the National Crime Agency.
"An active NCA investigation is now under way and we are working closely with the Football Association and the Gambling Commission.
"We cannot comment further at this stage."
Last month, the NCA announced it had started an investigation into what it described as "a suspected international illegal betting syndicate".
Gambling on the matches is thought to have taken place on Asian-based betting services and so far investigators to do not believe British betting markets are involved.

TWO ex-Premier League stars are at the centre of a sensational police match-fixing probe after a Sun on Sunday investigation.
It comes after one player claimed another agreed to deliberately earn a booking in a recent Championship clash in return for a £30,000 payout.
