Reply to comment by MrFluffyPillow in Tennis umpire handed lifetime ban for manipulating scoring by PrincessBananas85

Those guys got off real easy too. They went to court. Got probation. Loss of winnings and a boat they won. Lifetime ban but who cares. No jail time for cheating.

Why would they go to jail? What crime did they commit?

Fraud, for starters. Probably more of those smaller laws they throw on when the DA doesn’t want you to plead out of it

Maybe I'm missing something but how come this went to court where all other pro sports cheating incidents are handled by the sports governing body. Was it amateur?

Fraud most likely.
