Dominican umpire suspended until 2030 for breaching anti-corruption code
March 10 (Reuters) - Umpire Juan Gabriel Castro, from the Dominican Republic, has been suspended for six years for breaches of anti-corruption protocols after manipulating scoring during matches, the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) said on Monday. In a statement, the ITIA added that Castro had been "fined $6,000 following 12 breaches of the Tennis Anti-Corruption Program (TACP)". "Castro, a national-level official, did not respond to the ITIA's notice of charge, which related to three matches, in which the official was alleged to have manipulated scoring entry to contrive the scorecard and facilitate corruption," the ITIA said. "Castro has been provisionally suspended since November 7 2024, as such, their suspension will end on November 6 2030."

Tennis chair umpire in the Dominican Republic is suspended for 6 years for corruption
LONDON (AP) — A national-level chair umpire in the Dominican Republic, Juan Gabriel Castro, was suspended for six years and fined $6,000 by the International Tennis Integrity Agency on Monday for manipulating scoring during matches to help someone who was placing bets. The ITIA said Castro was found to have committed 12 breaches of the Tennis Anti-Corruption Program across three matches. Castro did not respond to the ITIA's notice of charge. He was accused of having 'manipulated scoring entry to contrive the scorecard and facilitate corruption.' Someone who doesn't respond to the ITIA's investigative process can be found guilty of a 'deemed sanction' and then have 10 business days to appeal. Castro did not appeal. He has been provisionally suspended since last November, so his ban will end in November 2030. ___
