Russian tennis star Nikolay Davydenko was cleared by the ATP on Friday after a yearlong investigation into suspicious betting patterns on a match he lost to a low-ranked opponent.
The governing body of men's tennis said it found no evidence of wrongdoing by Davydenko, opponent Martin Vassallo Arguello of Argentina or anyone else associated with their match in Sopot, Poland, on Aug. 2, 2007.
"The ATP has now exhausted all avenues of inquiry open to it and the investigation is now concluded," the ATP said in a statement.

Hornaday OK to race after admitting testosterone use
Ron Hornaday, the defending champion in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, will be allowed to race after disclosing he used a testosterone cream because it wasn't intended as a performance enhancer, NASCAR spokesman Jim Hunter said.
Hornaday told ESPN the Magazine this week that he used a testosterone cream during 2004 and 2005 to treat a medical issue. Hornaday also revealed he has Graves' disease, a condition he is now treating with Synthroid, which replaces a hormone normally produced by the thyroid gland to regulate the body's metabolism.
Rain washed out NASCAR Sprint Cup qualifying at Loudon, N.H. However, 18-year-old Joey Logano is guaranteed a starting spot in the 43-car field for Sunday's Sylvania 300.
A week ago at Richmond, Va., a rainout left Logano out of the lineup because he was entered in a fourth Joe Gibbs Racing car that had no owner points. This week, Logano is entered in the No. 96 Hall of Fame Racing entry, 39th in the owners points.
