The cases were heard at a joint hearing in London last month.

The integrity unit says the suspensions take effect immediately. Both players are banned from playing in or attending any tournament or competitions organized or sanctioned by the governing bodies of professional tennis.

The unit gave no specific details of the allegations against the players.
