LONDON -- French tennis player Samuel Bensoussan had his ban from the sport for match-fixing increased to three years on appeal, the International Tennis Integrity Agency said on Wednesday.
Bensoussan had originally been banned for one year and 11 months for fixing singles and doubles matches in lower-tier events for an organized crime syndicate based in Belgium.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport increased the ban to three years for Bensoussan, 34, whose ATP singles ranking peaked at No. 405 in June 2018.
The ITIA published the CAS verdict which stated the "investigations uncovered a criminal organization that corrupted at least 181 players worldwide and involved the manipulation of at least 375 tennis matches."
