Four table tennis players suspended for match-fixing in England

Luke Savill, Darius Knight, Joseph Langham-Ferreira and Kazeem Adeleke appeared before the Disciplinary Committee for breaches of the TTE Anti-Corruption Regulations relating to betting on table tennis matches.

The Gambling Commission’s Sports Betting Intelligence Unit (SBIU) played a key role in identifying and supporting the investigation into match-fixing within table tennis.

Our work began after receiving reports of unusual and suspicious betting activity from licensed operators on matches held in Ukraine in 2020, linked to British betting accounts. This information was developed, and intelligence was shared with several stakeholders including Table Tennis England, prompting a comprehensive investigation in collaboration with the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) and specialist consultants.

Andrew Rhodes, Chief Executive of the Gambling Commission, said: “This case highlights the importance of global collaboration in protecting the integrity of sport. Over the past five years, stakeholders across multiple jurisdictions have worked together to investigate and address concerns around match-fixing.

“This demonstrates that safeguarding sport is a shared responsibility, and those who seek to manipulate outcomes face increasing scrutiny. The message is clear, integrity in sport matters, and efforts to uphold it will continue.”
