The disgraced former boss of the Renault Formula One team, Flavio Briatore, now faces questions over his role as co-owner of England's Queens Park Rangers Football Club.
The Football League has requested details from motorsport's governing body the FIA, over Briatore's part in conspiring to fix the result of last year's Singapore Grand Prix.
The league requires every club owner to pass a "fit and proper person" test and one of its rules says nobody can own a football club if they are banned from a sport's governing body.
Briatore quit Renault last week ahead of the FIA's hearing into Renault's ordering of Nelson Piquet junior to crash in Singapore to orchestrate a win for his teammate Fernando Alonso.
