China's 35-year-old famous player has been severely punished and has been banned by the World Taiwan Federation! Liang Wenbo basically missed the World Championships. The 2022 World Snooker Championship qualification tournament is just around the corner, but at this time, there is a shocking news, a number of British media reported that China's 35-year-old snooker star Liang Wenbo has been punished by the local court for beating people in the street, has been fined 1380 pounds, while also completing 96 hours of community labor in the next 12 months.
In an interview, Liang Wenbo regretted his impulsive behavior, but also said that he had reached a settlement with the other party and apologized again in public. In response to Liang Wenbo's violent behavior, the World Federation of Taiwan officials issued a statement at the first time, saying that it would consider punishing Liang Wenbo, and shortly thereafter, the World Federation of Taiwan published a punishment decision on Liang Wenbo on its official website, saying that Liang Wenbo's violent behavior affected the reputation of the snooker movement and violated its contract with World Snooker Co., Ltd. to participate in the World Snooker Tour, so it was decided to suspend Liang Wenbo's participation in the World Snooker Tour, until the end of the hearing, the suspension decision has been valid. World Federation President Jason Ferguson said that the immediate suspension of a player is not a rash duel, but because it is an act of violence, the suspension is the only appropriate behavior until the official results are announced. Jason Ferguson also said Liang's violence violated athlete guidelines and affected the sport's reputation.
Although Liang Wenbo has the right to appeal against the world Federation's ban decision, from the current situation, Liang Wenbo's choice not to appeal may be the most correct choice, because the street camera filmed Liang Wenbo beating people on the street, and the local court has made a judgment, which means that the official has determined that Liang Wenbo beat people on the street, even if Liang Wenbo chooses to appeal, it is difficult to change the result. In fact, Liang Wenbo has always been a player with a lot of personality, shouting in the arena more than once, but hitting people on the street did make many fans who like snooker not think of it.

Because the snooker World Championship qualification tournament is about to start, so Liang Wenbo has a high probability of not being able to qualify for this World Championship, it can be seen that Liang Wenbo has paid a painful price for his impulsive behavior, struggled for a whole year, because of a momentary impulse, the qualification for the World Championships has been lost, I hope Liang Wenbo can learn a lesson, and in the future, when encountering similar situations, he must remain calm and can no longer be impulsive!
