Quentin Folliot has not been able to make a name for himself internationally in sports for quite some time. However, the Frenchman is now in the spotlight for other reasons.
Tennis player Quentin Folliot has been banned for 20 years by the International Tennis Integrity Agency. The reason: according to the investigation, he is said to have played a central role in a match-fixing network. In addition to the ban, the 26-year-old must pay a fine of $70,000 and reimburse approximately $44,600 (a total of €97,700) in illegally obtained winnings.
Folliot reached his highest ATP ranking of 488 in August 2022. He was found guilty in 27 cases, including intentional match-fixing, attempted bribery, and destruction of evidence. His refusal to cooperate with investigators was particularly serious, which led to a harsher penalty.
He is already the sixth player to be sanctioned as part of a large-scale investigation.
