Beijing time on August 9 news, the "Tennis Ethics Investigation Team" released a message that is extremely surprising: Chinese player Peng Shuai has been banned for three months, plus a three-month suspension is suspended! She also received a $10,000 fine!
The group further explained the reasons for the suspension, because during last year's Wimbledon period, after the doubles registration deadline, Peng Shuai persuaded his partner at the time, Belgian Van Ujvank, to withdraw from the tournament so that he could change his partner, while proposing that he could give the other side financial compensation. Peng Shuai's foreign coach at the time, Perrett, was also punished because he was believed to be the initiator behind it.
According to the report, Uyvank did not accede to the request at the time, and Peng Shuai did not participate in the match, which the group believes violates the anti-corruption clause in tennis competitions that "no one can plan and interfere with any outcome of any event, and try to do so." Peng Shuai and her coach were punished for this.
Maklaren, head of the Independent Anti-Corruption Hearing Office, said they were in London on July 28 to hear the findings on the incident, and the ban took effect immediately from August 8, the date of the results, peng Shuai was banned from participating in all tennis matches in any capacity and in any form, and if no other violations occurred, she would return to the court after November 8 this year, but it also meant that she would not be able to participate in all regular matches this season, including the US Open and the Chinese Open. Her former French coach, BelandErrette, was also banned for three months.
