In April 2025, he was banned from tennis for 10 years, fined $20,000 and ordered to pay 5,500 Euros in restitution after admitting fixing three matches in 2017 and failing to report a corrupt approach in 2018. The International Tennis Integrity Agency said the case was linked to a criminal investigation involving a match-fixing syndicate in Belgium whose leader had been sent to prison for five years in 2023. Setodji's suspension will end on 31 March 2035. [2] [3] [4]
