The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) imposed a lifetime ban and a $34,000 fine on former Moroccan professional tennis player Younes Rachidi after he was found guilty of a

record 135 match-fixing offenses. The breaches, which occurred between 2017 and 2018, violated the Tennis Anti-Corruption Program (TACP) rules, including attempting to fix match

outcomes and accepting/receiving benefits to influence game results. Rachidi’s offenses were part of a broader investigation that also implicated two Algerian players, who were similarly

banned. The decision was made by independent Anti-Corruption Hearing Officer Janie Soublière.

Rachidi’s lifetime ban bars him from playing, coaching, or attending any tennis event sanctioned by tennis governing bodies. This action follows another recent ban imposed on French

player Sherazad Reix, who was also found guilty of match-fixing.
