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.
