A Bulgarian tennis umpire was suspended from his job as an umpire for six months by the ITiA after he was discovered betting on matches.
To make matters worse, Stefan Milutinov did not only bet on tennis matches, but he also bet on matches that he was officiating which is in total breach of the rules surrounding betting. The ITIA found him guilty of breaching two separate rules of its Anti-Corruption program resulting in his suspension.
Besides being suspended for six months, the umpire was forced to pay a $10,000 fine as well. He is set to make his return on May 14th when he'll be able to umpire again. It's the second betting suspension in recent weeks after Mardy Fish and Bob Bryan got suspended for promoting betting on social media.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
