Tennis rocked by bribe revelation

The Paris Masters Cup has been overshadowed by the growing scandal over match-fixing, with former top ten player Arnaud Clement admitting he was offered money to throw a tennis match.

Clement wouldn't give more details other than he declined to take the cash, and added he didn't know many players who'd been offered bribes. It follows growing suspicion over corruption in tennis in recent weeks.

The Frenchman made comments after losing to Russia's Mikhail Youzhny at the Paris Masters Series tournament.

The 6-4, 6-3 win keeps Youzhny alive his hopes of qualifying for the season-ending Masters Cup.
