ATP Catches Italian Tennis Player Galimberti Gambling
Posted on February 18, 2008
On Monday the ATP announced that Giorgio Galimberti of Italy had been found to have committed an offence under Article C.1 of the 2008 ATP Tennis Anti Corruption Program, namely wagering on the outcome of tennis matches.
An ATP investigation launched in August 2007 found that Galimberti had wagered on tennis matches during a period dating from June 2003 through January 2006, and has been suspended from participation on the ATP Tour for a period of 100 days and fined $35,000.
"The ATP's Tennis Anti Corruption Program is clear in regards to gambling on tennis matches by ATP players, player associates and staff. It unambiguously states that gambling on any form of tennis matches will not be tolerated," said Gayle David Bradshaw, ATP's Executive Vice President, Rules & Competition. "Everyone connected to the ATP Tour has a duty to abide by the rules, especially those designed to protect and uphold the integrity of our sport, and the ATP will continue to instigate disciplinary proceedings against anyone found not to be doing so."
