Slovak Dagmara Baskova sentenced to 12 years for match fixing

The Slovak tennis player Dagmara Baskova will not be able to participate in any competition related to this sport, and has been fined with a 12-year penalty and a fine of $ 40,000 after an investigation by the Tennis Integrity Unit (TIU) discovered five incidents of match-fixing by the player in 2017.

Baskova admitted the charges and therefore, the financial penalty has been reduced to $ 1,000 payable within 90 days.

Baskova, already retired from competition, was 117th in the world in singles, and 777 in doubles, as the highest classification.
