LONDON (AP) — An Italian tennis official has been suspended for 5 1/2 years for multiple corruption breaches, the sport’s integrity agency said on Thursday.
Manuel Guion, a national-level official who has also served as a line judge at ATP challenger level, admitted to five breaches of the tennis anti-corruption program.
The breaches included conspiring to commit a corruption offense, soliciting a player to commit a corruption offense, encouraging tennis betting, and betting on events when officiating at them, the International Tennis Integrity Agency said in a statement.
