A Kazakh tennis player, punished with 10 years for rigging

The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) has imposed a ten-year sanction on Kazakh Roman Khassanov for multiple violations of the Anti-Corruption Program of this sport (TACP) between 2014 and 2018.

The ITIA confirmed this Tuesday the suspension of Khassanov, in force since May 9, 2021, which prevents him from playing, training and exercising any activity in tennis events authorized by the governing bodies of this sport and which carries a fine of $ 100,000.

Khassanov admitted to having breached the anti-corruption rules regarding the manipulation or attempted manipulation of results and the direct or indirect acceptance of money or benefits for this, as well as not reporting any activity in this regard that you may have knowledge of.

The admission of these faults allows the ITIA to impose sanctions without the need to hold a prior hearing.
