ARTICLE VI: PLAYER MAJOR OFFENCES A. AGGRAVATED BEHAVIOUR No player or Related Person at any ITF Pro Circuit Tournament shall engage in “Aggravated Behaviour” which is defined as follows: 1. One or more incidents of behaviour designated in this Code as constituting “Aggravated Behaviour”; 2. One incident of behaviour that is flagrant and particularly injurious to the success of an ITF Pro Circuit Tournament, or is singularly egregious; 3. A series of two (2) or more violations of this Code within a twelve (12) month period which singularly do not constitute “Aggravated Behaviour”, but when viewed together establish a pattern of conduct that is collectively egregious and is detrimental or injurious to the ITF Pro Circuit Tournaments. In addition, any Player or Related Person who, directly or indirectly, offers or provides or receives any money, benefit or consideration to or from any other Covered Person or third party in exchange for access and/or accreditation to the tournament site shall be deemed to have engaged in Aggravated Behaviour and be in violation of this Section. Violation of this Section by a player, directly or indirectly through a Related Person or others, shall subject a player to a fine of up to $5,000 or the amount of prize money won at the tournament, whichever is greater, and a maximum penalty of permanent suspension from play in all ITF Pro Circuit Tournaments. Violation of this Section shall subject a Related Person to a maximum penalty of permanent revocation of accreditation and denial of access to all ITF Pro Circuit Tournaments. B. CONDUCT CONTRARY TO THE INTEGRITY OF THE GAME No player or Related Person shall engage in conduct contrary to the integrity of the Game of Tennis. If a player is convicted of the violation of a criminal or civil law of any country, the player may be deemed by virtue of such conviction to have engaged in conduct contrary to the integrity of the Game of Tennis and the ITF Executive Director may provisionally suspend such player from further participation in ITF Pro Circuit tournaments pending a final determination in Section C. In addition, if a player has at any time behaved in a manner severely damaging to the reputation of the sport, the player may be deemed by virtue of such behaviour to have engaged in conduct contrary to the integrity of the Game of Tennis and be in violation of this Section. Violation of this Section by a player, directly or indirectly through a Related Person or others, shall subject a player to a fine up to $5,000 and/or to a 112
maximum penalty of permanent suspension from play in all ITF Pro Circuit Tournaments. Violation of this Section shall subject a Related Person to a maximum penalty of permanent revocation of accreditation and denial of access to all ITF Pro Circuit Tournaments. C. DETERMINATION AND PENALTY The ITF Executive Director shall cause an investigation to be made of all facts concerning any alleged Major Offence and shall provide written notice of such investigation to the player involved; the player shall be given at least ten (10) days to provide to the ITF Executive Director, directly or through counsel, such evidence as the player deems to be relevant to the investigation. Upon the completion of his investigation the ITF Executive Director shall determine the innocence or guilt of the player involved, and, in the latter case, shall state in writing the facts as found by him, his conclusions and his decision fixing the penalty to be imposed. A copy of the decision shall be promptly delivered to the player and to the Committee. D. PAYMENT OF FINES All fines levied by the ITF Executive Director for Player Major Offences shall be paid by the player to the ITF within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice thereof. If the fine is not paid in thirty (30) days the ITF Executive Director will instruct the next ITF Pro Circuit Tournament to withhold prize money due to the player until settlement is made. E. DISCRETIONARY REVIEW Any player found to have committed a Player Major Offence may, after paying all fines as above provided, petition the Committee for discretionary review of the determination and penalty of the ITF Executive Director. The petition shall be in writing and must be filed with the ITF Executive Director within thirty (30) days after notice of the violation is mailed to the player. The ITF Executive Director shall thereafter promptly forward said petition to the Committee. Said petition shall state in detail the basis for such appeal. Within thirty (30) days thereafter the Committee shall designate a time and place for the hearing of such appeal and shall so notify the player and the ITF Executive Director. At such hearing the player and the ITF Executive Director shall present to the Committee the relevant evidence on the matter. The Committee may affirm, reverse, or modify the decision of the ITF Executive Director on appeal. If the appeal is decided against the player, then the Committee shall tax the reasonable costs of the appeal against the player, which costs shall include, but not be limited to, the reasonable travel and living expenses incurred by all witnesses and 113
