    Guatemalan tennis player banned 2 years for match-fixing

    LONDON (AP) — Guatemalan player Christopher Diaz-Figueroa has been banned from tennis for two years for match-fixing.


    "...The Tennis Integrity Unit, which handles corruption cases in the sport, says the 28-year-old Diaz-Figueroa admitted to match-fixing at an ITF tournament in Prague in 2017, where he lost in the first round..."

    This guy's the top player and national hero of his country.
    2 years...can fill the meantime with cushy gigs: tennis pro @ country club, coach @ top school, train top racehorses, etc.
