The International Tennis Integrity Agency has confirmed that Jatuporn Na Lamphun has been issued a lifetime ban and fined \u00a384k ($115k) for offences under the Tennis Anti-Corruption Program (TACP).<\/p>\n
The unranked Thai tennis player did not respond to a notice of charge from the ITIA. The charges included facilitating or attempting to facilitate the fixing of 22 matches across 2023 and 2024.<\/p>\n
He also received a notice of charge for providing or offering money in 18 of those matches, and failure to co-operate with an ITIA investigation.<\/p>\n
Na Lamphun has been provisionally suspended since December 2024. The 31-year-old failed to reply to the sanction proposed in the notice of charge.<\/p>\n
As a result, a lifetime ban came into force as a deemed sanction on August 20. Na Lamphun did not appeal this punishment to an independent Anti-Corruption Hearing Officer.<\/p>\n
He is now permanently banned from playing in, coaching at or attending any tennis event authorised or sanctioned by the ATP, WTA, ITF, Tennis Australia, the French Tennis Federation, Wimbledon<\/a>, the USTA, or any national association.<\/p>\n Na Lamphun previously served an 18-month suspension for anti-corruption offences in 2016. Independent Anti-Corruption Hearing Officer Ian Mill QC also imposed a fine of \u00a33.7k ($5k).<\/p>\n Aged 22 at the time and unranked, he admitted to three breaches of the programme, which prohibits betting on tennis matches, between July and November 2014.<\/p>\n Mr Nalamphun contested, but was found guilty of a further charge of failing to co-operate with a Tennis Integrity Unit Investigation. For this charge, he received an 18 month suspension.<\/p>\n While reaching a decision on the sanction, Mr Mill QC said: \u201cThe full and timely co-operation by participants in TIU investigations is of paramount importance in the efforts being made by the TIU to eliminate corruption in professional tennis.\u201d<\/p>\n The two periods of ineligibility ran concurrently.<\/p>\n To be the first to receive the latest tennis news, join our WhatsApp community<\/a> or newsletter<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The International Tennis Integrity Agency has confirmed that Jatuporn Na Lamphun has been issued a lifetime ban and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":426629,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4105],"tags":[9253,9254,145618,79,1068,9255,5838,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-426628","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-international-tennis-integrity-agency","9":"tag-itia","10":"tag-jatuporn-na-lamphun","11":"tag-sports","12":"tag-tennis","13":"tag-tennis-ban","14":"tag-tennis-news","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115209130978032679","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/426628","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=426628"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/426628\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/426629"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=426628"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=426628"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=426628"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
