ITIA Bans Argentina’s Leonardo Aboian for 81 Months Over Match-Fixing

The penalty follows his admission to fixing eight matches between 2018 and 2025, with no appeal.

Overview

  • Aboian’s ineligibility runs through June 18, 2032, with credit for a provisional suspension that began on September 19, 2025.
  • He is barred from playing, coaching, or attending any event sanctioned by ATP, ITF, WTA, and other ITIA member bodies.
  • The sanction includes a $40,000 fine, with $25,000 suspended subject to compliance, leaving $15,000 payable.
  • He accepted all anti-corruption charges, including facilitating betting, manipulating outcomes, accepting payments to underperform, and failing to report corrupt approaches.
  • The ITIA noted 30 breaches tied to lower-tier ITF and Challenger events, and local reports place the case among several recent integrity actions involving Argentine players.
