The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) have confirmed that Argentinian tennis player Leonardo Aboian will serve a ban of six years and nine months after admitting to 30 breaches of the Tennis Anti-Corruption Program. The 27-year-old admitted to fixing eight of his own singles and doubles matches on the ITF World Tennis Tour and ATP Challenger tours between 2018 and 2025.
Aboian has also been fined £30,000 for his breaches, of which £18,500 is suspended. His provisional suspension began in September 2025, with the months since then counting towards his current ban.
A statement from the ITIA read: “The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) today confirms that Argentinian tennis player Leonardo Aboian has been suspended for a period of six years and nine months, and fined $40,000 (of which $25,000 is suspended) after admitting to 30 breaches of the Tennis Anti-Corruption Program (TACP).
“27-year-old Aboian admitted to fixing eight of their own singles and doubles matches at ITF World Tennis Tour and ATP Challenger level between 2018 and 2025. The player admitted to all of the ITIA charges, including facilitating wagering, contriving the outcome of events, receiving payment not to give best efforts, and failure to report corrupt approaches.”
It continued: “Aboian, who reached a career-high world singles ranking of 229 in April 2025, accepted an agreed sanction with the ITIA and waived their right to a hearing before an independent Anti-Corruption Hearing Officer (AHO). Time served under provisional suspension will be credited against the player’s period of ineligibility. Having been provisionally suspended since 19 September 2025, Aboian’s suspension will end on 18 June 2032, subject to repayment of outstanding fines.

“During the period of ineligibility, Aboian is prohibited from playing in, coaching at, or attending any tennis event authorised or sanctioned by the members of the ITIA (ATP, ITF, WTA, Tennis Australia, Federation Française de Tennis, Wimbledon and USTA) or any national association. The ITIA is an independent body established by its tennis funders to promote, encourage, enhance, and safeguard the integrity of their professional tennis events.”
Aboian’s suspension will eventually run out in June 2032, when the 23-year-old will be in his early thirties.
