ITIA Provisionally Suspends Argentina’s Leonardo Aboian Over Suspected Corruption

The integrity agency says the temporary ban protects the sport given indications of a serious offense.

Overview

  • The provisional suspension took effect on September 19 and bars Aboian from competing, training, or attending events sanctioned by ITIA members including the ATP, ITF, WTA, Wimbledon, USTA, Tennis Australia, and the French federation.
  • Aboian did not appeal to an independent hearing officer, allowing the immediate enforcement of the measure.
  • The ITIA has released no specific details of the alleged misconduct, and the investigation remains active.
  • Reporting notes he is the ninth Argentine player disciplined under the anti‑corruption program, reflecting a broader pattern of recent integrity actions.
  • The 27-year-old reached a career-high ATP No. 229 in April, last played a Challenger in Villa María in September, locked his social media following the announcement, and has been linked since 2024 to the Slice Token financing venture.
