ITIA beats tennis player with severe sanctions for the game fixation scandal

The world of tennis is shaken by the scandal because the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) take decisive measures against three players to violate the anti -corruption code. In a shocking turn of events, Thailand's Anapat Timangkul, Romania Alexandra Iordache and China Wang Chukang were beaten with severe sanctions for their participation in the match fixation.

Anapat Timangkul, the Thai tennis player, was banned and the most severe fine was received after manipulating the result of five games between September 2023 and February 2024.

Alexandra Iordache from Romania admitted that in 2023 she accepted unethical behavior in connection with a agreement in connection with the payment for match fixation, approached another player with corrupt intentions and tried to destroy evidence. As a result, Iordache will be exposed to $ 5,000 ($ 5,000) with a two-year suspension and a fine of $ 15,000 from March 11, 2025.

Wang Chukang from China was also involved in the violations of the anti-corruption code, which led to an eight-month suspension and a fine of $ 1,500. Although Chukang had initially denied the allegations, on January 9, 2025, he was found guilty in a remote hearing from Jack Forrest KC, officer (AHO) against the fight against corruption.

During their suspensions, the players are forbidden to participate in tennis events that have been approved or approved by ITIA members, including ATP, ITF, WTA and others. This strict judgment aims to maintain the integrity of sports and to send a clear message that corruption in tennis is not tolerated.

The fast and solid actions of the ITIA against these players show a zero tolerance guideline compared to match fixation and corruption in tennis. The effects of Timangkul, Iordache and Chukang serve as a warning for others who consider the integrity of the game.
