Life ban for South Africa tennis player

South African tennis player Joshua Chetty has been banned for life from the sport after being found guilty of attempted matchfixing. The 21-year-old admitted offering another player financial incentives to underperform in matches during the ITF Futures event in Stellenbosch, South Africa last November.

The approached player, who has not been named, referred the matter to the tennis integrity unit, whose findings led to the lifetime ban after an independent anticorruption hearing.
