LONDON -- Three Italian players will be investigated by world tennis anti-corruption unit after they were suspended by their national federation for match-fixing. Pele Jersey .The 143rd-ranked Marco Cecchinato and his lower-ranked compatriots Riccardo Accardi and Antonio Campo were banned for up to 18 months by the Italian federation this week for allegedly influencing the outcome of matches.In an email to The Associated Press on Thursday, the International Tennis Federation said the Tennis Integrity Unit has asked the Italian federation to provide it with the evidence on which the sanctions were imposed.Once this evidence has been received and passed through the standard TIU investigative process, a decision will be made as to whether to charge (the three players) with a corruption offense under the Tennis Anti-Corruption Programme, the ITF said.The Italian federation suspended Cecchinato until January 2018 and fined him 40,000 euros ($44,000) for allegedly losing on purpose during a Challenger event in Mohammedia, Morocco, in October 2015. He was beaten in the quarterfinals by Kamil Majchrzak of Poland 6-1, 6-4.Last weekend, Cecchinato was part of the Italian Davis Cup team that lost 3-1 to Argentina though he didnt play in the tie.Accardi and Campo, who dont compete on the ATP tour, were banned for 12 and four months, respectively, for several alleged attempts to fix matches.

Uniteds eighth defeat of a wretched campaign means Liverpool, which currently occupies the fourth and final Champions League place, could go nine points clear of its fierce rival by beating West Bromwich Albion on Sunday.

MEXICO CITY, Mexico -- Sebastian Vettel was demoted to fifth place at the Mexican Grand Prix after the race stewards penalised him for dangerous driving while defending position from Daniel Ricciardo.The decision promotes Ricciardo to third and Red Bull teammate Max Verstappen to fourth, who was also penalised after finishing third on the road. The unusual set of circumstances means three different drivers have been classified third since the chequered flag fell, although Ricciardo will retain the position in the official results of the race.Vettel came under attack from Ricciardo at Turn 4 on the penultimate lap of the Mexican Grand Prix, squeezing the Red Bull driver to the inside of the track under braking. The two cars touched wheels as they locked brakes, but Vettel held position on the exit and neither had significant damaged.The incident occurred two laps after Vettel attempted to pass Verstappen for third at Turn 1, only for the Red Bull driver to skip the second corner and retain position. Vettel launched into a rant over team radio, arguing Verstappen should give the position to him, but the 19-year-old instead remained in front and backed Vettel into Ricciardo behind.Immediately after the race, Verstappen was penalised for skipping Turn 2, promoting Vettel to the podium where he accepted the trophy. Roughly three hours later, the stewards issued Vettel a 10-second penalty for his defence of Ricciardo, demoting him behind both Red Bulls and putting Ricciardo on the podium.The rule about moving under braking was introduced in the race notes at the U.S. Grand Prix after Verstappen was accusedd of defending second position from Lewis Hamilton in a dangerous manner at the Japanese Grand Prix. Pele Brazil Jersey. Vettel was among the drivers who welcomed the new rule, saying it had been an unwritten law when he entered F1.An FIA statement explained the decision in full: The stewards paid particular attention to the Race Directors Notes from the US Grand Prix and from this event. Notwithstanding the F1 Commission directive to let the drivers race we note the concern that has been expressed about manoeuvrers involving a change of direction under braking as expressed at the drivers briefing at the US Grand Prix and in the Race Directors Notes from the US Grand Prix and this event.The telemetry and video evidence shows that the driver of Car 5 did change direction under braking. Article 27.5 and the Race Directors Notes have essentially three criteria that determine a breach:1) Driving in a manner potentially dangerous 2) An abnormal change of direction 3) Another driver having to take evasive actionThe video footage, including the close circuit footage, the broadcast vision, both drivers on board cameras plus the telemetry show that there was an abnormal change of direction by Car 5 and this was considered to be potentially dangerous in view of the proximity of the wheels of each car. The video evidence clearly shows that Car 3 had to take evasive action as a result. Accordingly as all three criteria have been met, the driver of Car 5 is guilty of a breach of Article 27.5. ' ' '
