According to the news of the billiards blogger "billiards does not make a fuss", the punishment results of the snooker "gambling case" have been released!
Cause: 10 Chinese snooker players involved in fakes
Since the end of October 2022, 10 Chinese snooker players have been temporarily suspended by the World Taiwan Federation for suspected gambling match-fixing incidents, these 10 are Liang Wenbo, Lu Ning, Li Xing, Zhao Jianbo, Bai Langning, Chang Bingyu, Yan Bingtao, Chen Zifan, Zhang Jianjian and Zhao Xintong. After that, it was the procedure, the hearing was held in the UK at the end of April, and in the end, we waited for the specific punishment result.
Punishment result: Yan Bingtao banned for 5 years, Zhao Xintong can come back next year
The masterminds of the incident, Liang Wenbo and Li Xing, were banned for life, and the champions Zhao Xintong and Yan Bingtao who the outside world cared about the most, the former actually implemented a ban period of 1 year and 8 months, and the ban ends on September 1, 2024, so far Zhao Xintong can still continue to adhere to the dream of snooker, after all, he can come back next year. Yan Bingtao's problem is much bigger, the actual implementation of the ban period is 5 years, that is to say, Yan Bingtao after 00 is likely to retire, after all, 5 years without playing, and I don't know how Yan Bingtao maintains his state. Fortunately, the snooker project does not have a large age limit, and if Yan Bingtao does not retire, then he will survive these 5 years. In addition, Chang Bingyu's actual ban period was 2 years and 4 months, Bai Langning's actual ban period was 2 years and 8 months, and Lu Ning's actual ban period was 5 years and 4 months.
Impact: Chinese snooker falls in half
It can be seen that the punishment result is still very heavy, Chinese snooker has fallen half of the country, fortunately, there are young players like Si Jia Hui shining in the World Championships, so that the outside world still retains hope for Chinese snooker.
