Spanish tennis player handed 15 year ban by International Tennis Integrity Agency

After being found guilty of several charges of corruption, a Spanish tennis player was given a 15-year ban by the International Tennis Integrity Agency.


Breach includes influencing the course of events through deception, taking money to influence events, and neglecting to disclose unethical behavior. According to the agency, the player also bet on tennis and gave money to the organizers of the competition in return for a wild card.

He is the most recent person to be barred from tennis due to corruption. In an effort to put a stop to this kind of behavior, the organization has recently imposed a number of sanctions.

It's unfortunate when talented athletes ruin their careers over greed and cheating. There must have been many red flags in this guy's actions for the investigation to find enough evidence of corruption charges. I hope this deters others thinking of trying similar things for their own benefit. The rules are there to keep the game fair.
