Dutch tennis coach banned for 12 years over match-fixing
Dutch tennis coach Max Wenders has been banned from the sport for 12 years after admitting multiple match-fixing charges.
He must also pay a fine of $12,000, the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) announced on Wednesday.
Wenders also admitted to destroying evidence, it said.
“But he admitted to failing to report a corrupt approach.”
ITIA did not disclose when and where any incidents occurred or which players were affected.
Wenders had worked with several players as a coach on the women’s WTA Tour.
