Tunisia suspended from Davis Cup Tennis Tournament

The International Tennis Federation said there was no room for prejudice in sport and the one-year ban was a "fitting penalty". Jaziri withdrew from the Tashkent Challenger last month ahead of a match against Amir Weintraub. He was cleared of wrongdoing. Officials found Jaziri - who had claimed to be suffering from a knee injury had been ordered to pull out of the match. The ITF board voted unanimously to suspend the Tunisian Tennis Federation for one year from the Davis Cup, one of the most important tournaments in men's tennis.Tunisian tennis player Malek Jaziri (file photo - 13 October)
