Match-fixing scandal In October 2016, Garza was banned for six months and fined $5000 for attempting to match-fix at an ITF tournament in Casabalas, USA.

Decision Later Appealed

Mexican tennis player Daniel Garza successfully appealed penalties to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in a match-fixing case.

The Tennis Integrity Unit made the ruling in April 2017.

The 31-year-old Garza was eligible to resume his playing career immediately. The CAS awarded Garza $2,970 to help with his legal costs.

The Tennis Integrity Unit was set up by the Grand Slam Board, the International Tennis Federation, the ATP and the WTA to fight corruption in the sport.
