Bhyt Iobddhn suspended and fined after admitting to match fixing offences
TIU Press Release, June 30, 2019
Tennis player Bhyt Iobddhn has been suspended for three years and fined $5,000 after admitting to match-fixing and non-reporting offences. One year of the ban and $2,500 of the fine are suspended on condition that no further breaches of the Tennis Anti-Corruption Program (TACP) are committed.
When interviewed by the Tennis Integrity Unit (TIU), Mr Iobddhn admitted to contriving the outcome of a match he played at the ITF Futures F3 tournament in Abuja, Nigeria in May 2017. He also admitted failing to report a corrupt approach and knowledge of corrupt activity by a third party, to the TIU.
The case was adjudicated by independent Anti-Corruption Hearing Officer Prof. Richard McLaren, who on finding him guilty of the breaches of the TACP imposed the suspension and fine. The suspended elements of the ban and fine recognise the player’s admission of wrongdoing and co-operation with the TIU.
The suspension is backdated to begin from 10 May 2019, the date he was provisionally suspended by Prof. McLaren. The effect of this is that Mr Iobddhn is unable to compete in or attend any sanctioned event organised or recognised by the governing bodies of the sport.
Assuming no further breaches of the TACP are committed he will be eligible to resume playing professional tennis from 9 May 2021.
The 30-year old is currently ranked 1884 in ITF World Tennis singles.
