A French player has been banned for twenty years for corruption.
french player Quentin Folriot The International Tennis Integrity Agency announced today that he has been suspended for 20 years, fined $70,000, and ordered to repay corruption payments totaling more than $44,000 for 27 violations of the Tennis Anti-Corruption Program (TACP).
Foleyot, 26, was found to be at the center of a match-fixing scheme which featured professional players actively working with a match-fixing syndicate.
ITIA announced that Folliot is the sixth player to be sanctioned as a result of the investigation, following the cases of Jaimee Floyd-Angele, Paul Valsecchi, Luc Fomba, Lucas Bouquet and Enzo Rimoli.
Folliot, who reached a career-high singles ranking of 488th in the world in August 2022, has denied 30 charges relating to 11 tennis matches between 2022 and 2024. Foliot played in eight of those games. Folliot faces charges including: fixing match results, accepting money without using his best efforts for betting purposes, providing money to other players to fix matches, providing inside information, conspiracy to commit corruption, failing to cooperate with the ITIA investigation and destroying evidence.
Corruption hearing officer Amani Khalifa found Folliault guilty on 27 of 30 charges relating to 10 of the 11 games. Three charges related to a January 2024 doubles match (providing inside information, failing to report corrupt conduct and fabricating match results) were dismissed.
In a written decision issued on December 1, Khalifa called Folliot “a vehicle for a wider criminal enterprise that actively recruits other players and seeks to embed corruption deeper into the professional circuit.”
