Tennis player Alexandros Jakupovic gets lifetime ban

Details have not been readily given in regard to tennis player Alexandros Jakupovic receiving a lifetime ban from the game.

Multiple outlets reported via the Associated Press that the Greek tennis pro, 34, "was found guilty of five charges under the sport's anti-corruption" and was banned by the Tennis Integrity Unit for match-fixing. However, no details on how he broke the rules or an investigation into his offenses have been released.
