Late last year, Potito Starace, Daniele Bracciali and Alessio Di Mauro were found guilty of gambling on matches involving other players. Starace was suspended for six weeks and fined $30,000. Bracciali was suspended for three months and fined $20,000. Di Mauro was suspended for nine months and fined $60,000.
