Frenchman Quentin Folliot banned 20 years for match fixing

France's Quentin Folliot was suspended 20 years by the ATP and received a $70,000 fine for being a central player in what was described as a "match-fixing syndicate," the International Tennis Integrity Agency announced Thursday.

The ITIA imposed the stiff penalty for 27 of the 30 instances and 10 of the 11 matches that were investigated. Folliot also was ordered to repay $44,000 in payments deemed corrupt.

Folliot, 26, was suspended in May of 2024 as an investigation into multiple players was underway, with the actions of Jaimee Floyd-Angele, Paul Valsecchi, Luc Fomba, Lucas Bouquet and Enzo Rimoli also under question, according to the ITIA.

Not only is Folliot prohibited from playing in matches sanctioned by the ITIA, he is not allowed to coach in any or even attend them.

Folliot had an ATP ranking as high as 488th in the world and amassed career prize money of just over $60,000 in both singles and doubles matches. His suspension was set through May of 2044.
