Piotr Gadomski, 24, was found guilty of four charges of “directly or indirectly soliciting or facilitating a player to not use his or her best efforts in an event.”
He has been banned for seven years and fined USD 15,000 for the misdemeanours, which occurred in 2012.
Meanwhile, Arkadiusz Kocyła (21), was found guilty of three charges relating to incidents which took place in 2012 and 2013.
He was given a shorter ban of five years, together with a fine of USD 15,000.
Neither player is ranked highly by ATP, Gadomski 908th and Kocyła 898th, and the latter had switched to training rather than playing of late.
According to ATP, Gadomski and Kocyła made USD 60,000 and USD 25,000 in their tennis careers respectively. (nh/rk)
