Was Federer ever displeased with IMG tennis betting scandal?

Question

Though tennis betting is pretty famous but its interesting to know, that the star tennis player Federer disapproves of tennis betting. I want gto confirm that was Federer displeased with IMG tennis betting scandal.

Answer 1

he Swiss expressed his displeasure that his 2007 French Open final loss to Rafael Nadal was the subject of a massive bet by the head of his management company IMG.

   The rock-solid Swiss, a sponsor's dream for VIP brands like Rolex, Mercedes-Benz and Nike, said at the Paris Masters that he had sought and received an explanation from IMG head Ted Forstmann, who lost $40,000 when he bet on Federer to beat Nadal in the Roland Garros final three years.

   Forstmann told his side of the story to an American website, saying he spoke with Federer before the final but only as a friend.

   "It's disappointing that my name gets thrown around for something that I have no control over," said No. 2 Federer, whose reputation for fair play will surely be well worth preserving. "It's a bad thing that people close to the game are betting on the sport, but you can't control what other people do.
  
   "All I can do is make sure me and my team don't do anything that's not allowed. I reached out to him (Forstmann) to know about the case.

   "And Ted Forstmann is not my agent, he's head of IMG. That's clear. He owns the company and I'm sure he's learned his lesson through that. But he gave me straight answers about what was going on, and that's OK for me."

   Forstmann is being sued in a US court by a disgruntled plaintiff who said he placed millions in sporting bets for the multimillionaire.

   Federer will surely be quietly working behind the scenes with his personal advisors to assess the damage and ponder the relationship with IMG. While player and coaches are forbidden to bet on matches, punting by agents and management has never been addressed. International anti-corruption authorities have so far said nothing.
