Two French players get life bans in latest ATP match-fixing scandal

Another match-fixing scandal has rocked the ATP as two top 500 players have been banned for life by the ITIA for their involvement in match-fixing.

The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) issued a statement explaining that two French players have been banned from the sport forever due to match-fixing. It's one of the latest things that the ITIA had to address with plenty of work for them lately with several doping scandals, betting scandals and now match-fixing as well.

One of the players is 29-year-old Mick Lescure who had a career-best ranking of 487 while the other is Jules Okala a 25-year-old with a career-best ranking of 338. Both were investigated for several match-fixing instances and after an investigation, both were fined and banned from the sport. Okala is said to have helped fix 7 matches while Lescure fixed 8.
