Former Moroccan tennis player Younes Rachidi was banned for life from the sport, after the International Tennis Integrity Agency found evidence of match-fixing.

According to a report by the ITIA, the 36-year-old tampered with the results of 135 games, which is the “largest number of offenses by one individual ever detected by the ITIA or its predecessor the Tennis Integrity Unit,” the report said.

Rachidi, who had a highest ATP doubles ranking of 473, is permanently banned from playing in, coaching at, or attending any tennis event authorized or sanctioned by the tennis governing bodies, the same source added.
