Argentina's Federico Coria Banned For Failure To Report Corruption Approach

London, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 15th Jun, 2018 ) :Argentinian tennis player Federico Coria has been suspended for eight months and fined $10,000 for committing breaches of the Tennis Anti-Corruption Program, it was announced Thursday.

However, six months of Coria's ban has been suspended on condition he commits no further offences, with half of the fine ($5,000) suspended on the same terms.

As a result, Coria has been banned from June 13 and is eligible to resume playing professional tennis from August 12, again assuming he commits no further offences.
