On January 15, 2022, the World Federation of Taiwan announced that it had confirmed that the British famous player Peter . Lanes violated the rules of the game, insulted the Chinese player Xiao Guodong, believing that he cheated in the game and did whatever it takes to win the game, xiao Guodong fought back, the two had a dispute, and later Peter . Reines' request for Xiao Guodong to go out with him was refused, and Xiao Guodong said that he was most worried about being attacked by the other side.
This matter has aroused great concern from the outside world, and most of the fans are supporting Xiao Guodong and supporting him in filing a complaint with the World Taiwan Federation and letting Peter. Lanes was duly punished, Xiao Guodong even posted on social media, saying that this matter he could not accept, the official needs to give everyone an explanation, can not be so calculated, Chinese players are not easy to play outside, to fight for everyone.
After receiving Xiao Guodong's complaint, the World Federation of Taiwan Compatriots immediately arranged for a special person to conduct an investigation to learn more about the situation at that time, and finally concluded: "Peter. Lynes broke both rules of the game, but considering his earlier apology to Mr. Xiao and the first time in his career that a similar incident had occurred, it was decided to impose a fine of £2,500, along with £5,464.8 in related fees. ”
Peter. Lanes has just recently won the Elder England Championship championship, won 10,000 pounds in prize money, just can pay the relevant fees, afterwards he realized his mistake, took the initiative to apologize to Xiao Guodong, hoping to get forgiveness, the World Federation of Taiwan pointed out that his attitude is very good, there has been no such thing before, considering the situation in this regard, the final decision is made now, the results are announced.
Xiao Guodong spoke out for the first time, thanking the World Federation of Taiwan for its fair and just handling, 52-year-old veteran Peter. Lanes was also little famous in the local area for his son Oliver. Lanes is also a professional player, and this matter is actually not only Xiao Guodong and Peter. The Lynes dispute had a bad impact on the snooker movement, Peter. Lanes apologized and realized that he was indeed wrong.
Snooker is a gentleman's sport, there will occasionally be some irrational behavior on the field, and the game is directly related, the World Taiwan Federation hopes that each player can control their emotions, to avoid similar situations from happening again, if there is a situation can be appealed to the referee, or notify the World Taiwan Federation, openly insult opponents, and even choose to use force to solve the problem, is the wrong approach.
Next Peter. Lynes still has the right to question, but judging from his initiative to apologize to Xiao Guodong, he basically realizes his mistake and is not willing to continue to make this matter bigger, and the possibility of raising objections in the future is very small.
