A 26-year-old French player suspended for 20 years for match-fixing
Quentin Folliot, 26 years old and former world number 488, has been officially suspended for a period of 20 years, fined $70,000, and required to repay $44,000 in bribes.
Involved in 11 fixed matches
The International Tennis Integrity Agency justified this conviction: "Folliot, who reached a career-high singles ranking of 488 in August 2022, denied 30 charges related to 11 tennis matches played between 2022 and 2024, including eight in which he participated.
These charges included match-fixing, receiving money in exchange for underperforming for betting purposes, offering money to other players to fix matches, providing insider information, conspiring to corrupt, failing to cooperate with an ITIA investigation, and destroying evidence."
