ITIA v. Jasel Beltre

Dominican player Jasel Beltre, 24, who reached a career-high world doubles ranking of 2083 in July 2023, was charged with 20 separate breaches of the Tennis Anti-Corruption Program spanning 11 matches between November 2022 and March 2024 — nine of them his own, plus approaches he made to other players to fix their matches. Beltre denied the charges and requested a hearing before an independent Anti-Corruption Hearing Officer, but then did not attend when the hearing, before AHO Jeffrey Mishkin, was held in March 2026.

Proceeding on the evidence before him in Beltre's absence, Mishkin found the charges proven and imposed a 20-year period of ineligibility together with a $55,000 fine, with time already served under provisional suspension credited against the total — the suspension is set to conclude on 29 May 2045, the longest end date of any sanction the ITIA announced in the same round of decisions.

The case was announced alongside a related one: fellow Dominican player Jossting Cruz was separately sanctioned for attempting to fix two of his own matches and, notably, for failing to report the corrupt approaches Beltre had made to him — illustrating that a player on the receiving end of another player's fixing approach can face liability of his own for staying silent about it, distinct from and additional to Beltre's own liability for making the approach. The case is also a clear illustration that requesting a hearing and then failing to attend it does not halt the process or improve a player's position: the Hearing Officer proceeded on the available evidence in Beltre's absence and imposed the sanction regardless.
