Brazil's Lula bans sports betting sites ahead of election

Original: Left-wing Brazilian President Lula banned sports betting sites on Friday, the biggest sponsors of the country's football

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva signed a ban on sports betting sites on Friday, targeting the 'bets' that have become the biggest sponsors of the country's football clubs. The move comes just nine days before a fiercely contested election in which Lula is seeking a fourth term, and is drawing criticism that the timing is politically motivated, while supporters frame it as a public health measure against gambling addiction.

Why now: The ban lands days before a contested presidential election and hits major football sponsors, making it both politically and culturally explosive.
