The Sports Buff ⚽️ ⚾️ 🏈

This is Stephen Lee mark two. Through the video content side on my website, I predominantly partner with (rumble.com), on there I spoke about Chinese players being charged as part of one of the biggest match-fixing scandals.

Two of the biggest names in China, besides Ding Junhui. Liang Wenbo and Li Hang have been given lifetime bans.

Eight other players, all from China, have received bans ranging from 20 months to five years and four months from the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association (WPBSA).

The serious allegations include manipulating games, approaching players to cheat, betting on snooker and fixing matches.

Yan Bingtao, the 2021 Masters champion, has been banned until December 2027, while former UK Championship winner Zhao Xintong must serve a suspension that ends in September 2024.

All 10 players have until 20 June to appeal against the decisions. As a snooker fan myself, this is really sad news. The players found guilty are very talented players.

The young Chinese players coming through could have earned more than that in their wildest dreams. Liang and Li, exit the sport in shame.

Even if they’re cleared, a lot of damage has been done. It can only be hoped that such punishments can act as a deterrent for others.
Ladies and gents, crime doesn’t pay. These eight are an example of that.
