ITIA Bans France's Quentin Folliot for 20 Years Over Match-Fixing

A hearing officer upheld 27 charges, finding he recruited players for a betting syndicate.

Overview

  • An October 2025 remote hearing led by Anti-Corruption Hearing Officer Amani Khalifa upheld 27 of 30 counts tied to 10 of 11 matches played between 2022 and 2024.
  • The sanctions include a $70,000 fine and repayment of more than $44,000 in corrupt payments, with eligibility to return no earlier than May 16, 2044, subject to repayment and credit for a provisional ban since May 2024.
  • Charges spanned contriving results, taking and offering money to fix matches, providing inside information, conspiracy, failure to cooperate, and destruction of evidence, while three counts from a 2024 doubles match were dismissed.
  • Khalifa’s written decision described Folliot as “a vector for a wider criminal syndicate” who recruited other players, noting obstruction of the investigation as an aggravating factor.
  • Folliot denies the allegations and is the sixth player sanctioned in the same ITIA probe, following Jaimee Floyd-Angele, Paul Valsecchi, Luc Fomba, Lucas Bouquet and Enzo Rimoli.
