LONDON: Ukrainian tennis player Stanislav Poplavskyy has been given a lifetime ban for participating in match-fixing activities, the Tennis Integrity Unit said on Friday.
The TIU said Poplavskyy took part in match-fixing and courtsiding activities on multiple occasions between 2015 and 2019. Courtsiding involves transmission of live scoring data from a match to a third party for betting purposes and is prohibited.
Poplavskyy also facilitated courtsiding and failed to report multiple approaches asking him to contrive matches, the TIU said. He was also fined $10,000 while accepting all charges against him.
