(Reuters) – Tennis fraud watchdog the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) on Wednesday suspended tennis player Quentin Foliot (26, France) for 20 years for 27 violations of the Tennis Anti-Corruption Program (TACP) regulations.
Folio was accused of 30 violations related to 11 games between 2022 and 2024, eight of which he played, and jury member Amani Khalifa upheld 27 of them in October.
An ITIA investigation revealed that Folio was a central figure in a group of players working on behalf of a match-fixing organization. “He was an intermediary for a larger criminal organization, actively recruiting other players, and attempting to further entrench corruption on the professional tour,” Khalifa said in a letter to the player.
Folio was provisionally suspended in May last year. In addition to being suspended for 20 years, he was also fined $70,000 (approximately 10 million yen) and ordered to repay fraudulent payments totaling more than $44,000.
