Table Tennis England appeal panel confirms four suspensions totalling 13 years

Enforcement & compliance

An independent Table Tennis England appeal panel partly upheld appeals by four members in a betting-related corruption case but confirmed suspensions totalling 13 years. Luke Savill received five years, Darius Knight four, and Joseph Langham-Ferreira and Kazeem Adeleke two years each; the panel said betting on a fixed result alone did not automatically make a person part of match-fixing, but breached anti-corruption rules.

The suspensions bar the four members from playing, coaching, officiating or undertaking other Table Tennis England activities during their terms.
