The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has reduced the suspension of Swedish tennis player Dragoș Mădăraș from four years and six months to two years.
Mădăraș had been suspended under the Tennis Anti-Corruption Program for breaching rules. Mădăraș reached a career-high world ranking of 191 in July 2023. He had been suspended after refusing to cooperate and have his mobile phone analyzed as part of an investigation.
The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) said in a statement Monday that the CAS partially upheld his appeal. It acknowledged his failure to cooperate but also found that a reduced sanction was appropriate.
In a separate case, the CAS dismissed an appeal from French player Leny Mitjana against a 10-year suspension, the International Tennis Integrity Unit said.
