The International Tennis Integrity Agency has confirmed that Jatuporn Na Lamphun has been issued a lifetime ban and fined £84k ($115k) for offences under the Tennis Anti-Corruption Program (TACP).

The unranked Thai tennis player did not respond to a notice of charge from the ITIA. The charges included facilitating or attempting to facilitate the fixing of 22 matches across 2023 and 2024.

He also received a notice of charge for providing or offering money in 18 of those matches, and failure to co-operate with an ITIA investigation.

Na Lamphun has been provisionally suspended since December 2024. The 31-year-old failed to reply to the sanction proposed in the notice of charge.

As a result, a lifetime ban came into force as a deemed sanction on August 20. Na Lamphun did not appeal this punishment to an independent Anti-Corruption Hearing Officer.
