Former French tennis player's plan to appeal a match-fixing suspension backfires on him

A former French tennis player has seen his ban for match fixing bumped up to three years after his attempt at appealing the initial penalty backfired. Samuel Bensoussan, a 34-year-old from France, was initially suspended for one year and 11 months after he was found to have fixed four matches. The Frenchman's actions were tied to a wide-ranging match-fixing syndicate set up in Belgium by a man named Grigor Sargsyan.
