Default ATP says it will ban players for throwing matches

This is the only response that they could possibly have ...

``As far as we are concerned, if you are involved with match-fixing, then you will be thrown out of the sport -- that's it,'' said Etienne de Villiers, executive chairman of the ATP Tour. ``It's definitely a threat we take very, very, very seriously.''
Interesting news about Davydenko, who started the whole controversy ... seems he's losing more matches, and he's being warned by umpires for not giving his best effort.

Buzzy doesn't have any first-hand knowledge, but these sound like the actions of a man with some gambling debts.
