Deal with betting provider
Nico Langmann convicted of violations by ITIA
Austrian wheelchair tennis player Nico Langmann has been sentenced by the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) for a breach of betting sponsorship rules. The agency imposed a 10,000 dollar fine and a conditional suspension for two months. The reason was that Langmann had concluded a contract with an Austrian online betting provider as an ambassador in January of the previous year.
The rules of the tennis anti-corruption program state: "No person involved may directly or indirectly facilitate, encourage and/or promote tennis betting." There was no evidence of corrupt behavior in the course of the rule violation. Langmann cooperated fully with the investigation and accepted the sanction, the ITIA said in a press release.
The athlete, who also worked with coach Wolfgang Thiem for three years, is aiming for his third participation in the Paralympics in Paris this year.
