Tennis player Dragos Nicolae Madaras provisionally suspended for match-fixing
At just 26 years old, Swedish tennis player Dragos Nicolae Madaras, once seen as a rising star in the sport, has encountered a significant setback in his career. Although he reached a career-high ranking of World No. 200 in July 2023, he currently sits at World No. 222.
Madaras is positioned as the third-highest-ranked Swedish tennis player in the ATP Rankings, only surpassed by the Ymer brothers, Mikael and Elias Ymer. However, he could be considered the second-highest-ranked now that Mikael has announced his retirement following a suspension due to multiple missed doping tests.
This time, Madaras has faced a provisional suspension imposed by the Tennis Anti-Corruption Program, a measure that has shaken his future in the sport.
The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) made this decision due to alleged violations of the Tennis Anti-Corruption Program (TACP). The suspension took effect on August 17, 2023, and prohibits Madaras from participating in any tennis events under the jurisdiction of tennis authorities or attending such events.
The suspension is based on Section F.3.b.i.1. of the TACP, which pertains to Madaras's failure to comply with a specific demand. Despite this sanction, the player filed an appeal in an attempt to have the decision reconsidered.

However, an Independent Anti-Corruption Hearing Officer, after a thorough review, dismissed Madaras's appeal on September 22, 2023.
In the current situation, Madaras will have to serve this provisional suspension until all the details of the case are clarified. It is important to note that in previous cases, some players have received lifetime bans after being involved in match-fixing scandals.
Examples of such bans include tennis players Nastja Kolar and Alexandra Riley, who received permanent sanctions in the sport after being found guilty of manipulating match results in their respective careers.
