I'm surprised no one has posted it yet. I heard on the Eurosport2 News some 30 minutes ago that Starace was banned because of the whole betting scandal. I couldn't find another source, especially as I don't speak Italian. Can anyone confirm it?.

Starace had a bet account but he used it only for bet on football matches.

 

[Nathaliia]

Yay, maybe Volandri will be the next one.

 

[Action Jackson]

Post a link in whatever language, there are many people here who can speak Italian and translate it.

 

[TMJordan]

I have a betting account, maybe they will ban me next.

 

[Action Jackson]

Betting on football if you play tennis, isn't exactly illegal.

 

[TMJordan]

He must have bet on tennis matches

here's an article....seems like he had some bets also on tennis matches for an amount of 90 euro:

I wonder if it was the same as di Mauro, betting ones that were at other tournaments and not ones he played in.

 

[Nathaliia]

Or it is like packing Al Capone to jail for taxes.

We never know.

As I said above, I don't have another source for it just saw it on the news. I remember him being asked about the whole thing during the indoor season (I think by some French journalists). He then said that he would only bet on football matches. That's why I was so surprised about him being banned now.

I don't want to spread any rumours about him. Maybe someone else can confirm it over the next few hours.

yes he did the same....seems like he will be banned for max. 4/6 weeks and fine of 30000 euro.

Here's the list of the next players who will be banned:

while Mister Fix Davydenko will play normally

 

[TMJordan]

Davydenko doesn't even do anything good for the game, I don't know why they want to protect him, get that piece of crap out of the game.

Potito says he bet on tournaments that he wasn't participating in, only for fun, not for profit, and he bet 10 euro 4 times and 50 euro once. He will be charged for carelessness, as he did not pay any attention to the regulations set in place. He'll suffer a 4-6 week ban, preventing him from entering the Australian Open.

 

[dijus]

if it's only 90euro it seems to be like another "di Mauro" story
of course, the biggest fixers won't be caught, huh

Is it forbidden then for tennis players to bet on matches of tournaments they don't participate in?
Didn't know that.
