Two tennis umpires banned for corruption

Two tennis umpires were banned, one for life,
last year for breaches of the sport's code of
conduct for officials, world governing body the
International Tennis Federation said on Tuesday.
Four other umpires are under investigation by the
Tennis Integrity Unit (TIU), the London-based ITF
said.
In January tennis was rocked by a report by the
BBC and online BuzzFeed News that 16 players
who have been ranked in the top 50 had been
repeatedly flagged to the TIU over suspeicions
that had thrown matches in the past decade.
