ATP bans Starace and Bracciali over bettingBy Charlie Caroe and agenciesTwo Italian players banned by the ATP for betting on matches have said they are being sacrificed by the governing body of the men's game.

Starace, 26, is Italy's highest ranked player at 31 in the rankings.

Totally. Considering Davydenko was fined for non-trying in a match after playing very suspect when there were irregular betting patterns made before, these guys are clearly being made an example of.
