A Bulgarian tennis umpire was banned by the International Tennis Integrity Agency after it was discovered he bet on tennis.

The umpire violated the anti-corruption policy of the sport and was punished with a six-month suspension and a $10,000 fine. Milanov acknowledged placing many public wagers on tennis matches, including one he was refereeing. It’s been of the latest controversies to rock the tennis world after several players tested positive for banned substances recently.

Milanov admitted to his actions of Section D.1.a of the 2022 TACP: “No Covered Person shall directly or indirectly, Wager on the outcome or any other aspect of any Event or any other tennis competition.”

The official was suspended beginning on November 15, 2022, and it will terminate on May 14, 2023. Milanov is not permitted to officiate at or go to any tennis event that has been approved or sanctioned by the tennis governing organizations during this time.
