The ITTF Integrity Unit has launched a new Confidential Reporting Channel, designed to make it easier and safer for anyone in the table tennis community to raise integrity concerns. This important step reinforces ITTF’s commitment to protecting the sport, its athletes, and all other participants.
The new platform gives players, coaches, officials, and other stakeholders a trusted, secure, and independent space to report potential misconduct confidentially and securely.
By improving the quality and accessibility of information received, the ITTF Integrity Unit aims to take faster, more effective action to keep the sport clean, fair and safe.
A Safer Way for Players to Speak Up
Players are at the heart of table tennis, and their trust is essential. This platform ensures that their voices can be heard safely. Whether it’s concerns about competition manipulation, harassment or safeguarding, doping, or unethical behaviour, players can now report issues directly through a highly secure and confidential system.
Importantly, the platform operates independently from ITTF’s internal systems. All reports are handled by the external provider Formalize and reviewed by independent specialists Harod Associates, ensuring fairness, and the protection of reporting persons, with relevant reports being passed on to the Integrity Unit.
What Can Be Reported
The channel can be used to confidentially share any knowledge or suspicion of:
- Corruption, fraud, or unethical behaviour within table tennis governance
- Competition manipulation, such as match-fixing, betting, or misuse of inside information.
- Harassment, abuse, and safeguarding concerns in line with ITTF’s safe sport policies.
- Doping violations and other breaches of anti-doping rules.
- Any other breaches of ITTF Statutes or regulations.
Reports can be made with contact details or entirely anonymously, and are available in multiple languages, including Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish.
Protecting Table Tennis Integrity Together
All reports are treated with the strictest confidentiality and are fully protected under ITTF regulations and international whistleblowing laws. By giving the table tennis community a secure way to share information, the ITTF is empowering players and stakeholders to help protect the sport they love.
The Confidential Reporting Channel is available here.
ITTF encourages all players, coaches, athlete support personnel, officials, umpires, referees, and staff to share and promote this important tool.
