Snooker is a gentleman's sport, but the prize money for the game is not high, which also allows some players to take the risk to play match-fixing. In 2013, Stephen Lee was suspended for up to 12 years by the World Professional Billy and Snooker Federation (WPBSA) for playing match-fixing in multiple matches. The ban lasts until October 12, 2024, when Stephen Lee is 50 years old.

Stephen Lee was also a world-class champion, having won 5 professional ranking tournaments. And his world ranking was once fifth in the world. Sharp style A player with excellent ornamentality. Banned Stephen Lee had a very shabby life, and in 2014 he even sold his club for £1,600 on Facebook, after which he regretted not delivering the goods to the other side and was fined £110 by the court. In a few years, Stephen Lee's ban will be full, but Stephen Lee will be 50 years old at that time, and Stephen Lee's competitive level will not be very high.
