The International Tennis Integrity Agency said Thursday that French tennis player Quentin Folliot has been suspended for 20 years for match-fixing. Folliot must also pay a $70,000 fine and return more than $44,000 in corrupt payments. He may not play in, coach in or attend any tennis event authorized by ITIA members or any national association during the ban.

An ITIA investigation, which already resulted in discipline for five other players, discovered that Folliot, 26, committed 27 breaches of the Tennis Anti-Corruption Program and was a "central figure in a network of players operating on behalf of a match-fixing syndicate."

The time served under the provisional suspension will count toward Folliot's 20-year ban, which will end in May 2044. He will be 44 at the end of the suspension.
