This week, Italian tennis player Camila Giorgi, who achieved a ranking of No. 26 in the world, abruptly retired without a statement giving a reason why.

On Saturday, La Gazzetta dello Sporto, an Italian newspaper, reported that retirement is not a coincidence.

According to the report, The Guardia di Finanza, Italy's financial police, is looking for Giorgi and investigating her nonpayment of taxes and undeclared income.

Authorities are also investigating Giorgi's family members, including her mother, father and two brothers, all of whom are alleged to have "gaps" in their tax return filings.

Giorgi, 32, has not been seen since her retirement was announced May 7. The last time she competed in a tournament was last month at the Miami Open, where she was routed 6-1, 6-1 by Iga Swiatek in the second round.

Giorgi is already under investigation for allegedly forging her COVID-19 vaccine documentation to gain entry to the 2022 Australian Open and was scheduled to appear before a judge in Italy on July 16.

    I bet a a lot of athletes had fake covid 19 cards so they could participate. I think most healthy athletes care about what they inject into their bodies.

    In 2022, Australia and the U.S. forced athletes from other countries to get the shots if they wanted to play.

    Usually when there is a problem such as this, the first thing I think of is a gambling problem. But it's unusual for a woman to take a gambling problem to a level of criminal activity. However I've read over the years about some women doing that, including a church secretary who absconded with church funds to fuel her addiction at a local casino.

    What really makes this strange is her family members having a similar tax problem? My guess is they talked about how to evade taxes say at a family dinner, so they all did it in a similar manner.

    Haha. I just wanted to hear an anti vaccination rant. I was pretty bummed I didn’t get one. I bet I could have siphoned one out eventually but you ruined my fun.

    Definitely got Scooby-Doo’d there.
