Argentinian Leonardo Aboian will not be allowed to play on the tennis tour for a long time.
The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) has banned player Leonardo Aboian for six years and nine months. The Argentine was found guilty of several betting manipulations and was also fined $40,000 (of which $25,000 is suspended). The 27-year-old had previously admitted to 30 violations of the Tennis Anti-Corruption Program (TACP).
Aboian confessed to manipulating eight of his own singles and doubles matches on the ITF World Tour and the ATP Challenger Tour between 2018 and 2025. His offenses included “facilitating betting, manipulating match results, accepting payments for not playing to his full potential, and failing to report corruption attempts,” the ITIA said.
Comeback in 2032?
Aboian reached his highest world ranking in April 2025, when he was ranked 229th. He has been provisionally suspended since September 2025, which has been counted towards the suspension that has now been imposed.
Aboian should therefore theoretically be able to compete in an official match again on June 18, 2032. During the suspension, however, he is prohibited from “participating in, training at, or attending tennis events,” the ITIA explained. This includes tournaments organized by the professional organizations ATP and WTA, as well as the ITF and the Grand Slams.
