Yan Bingtao banned for five years and self-destructively future! The family was poor, the mother was suffering from cancer, and the father was unemployed
In the early morning of June 7, Beijing time, the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association issued a statement issuing fines to 10 Chinese players suspected of manipulating the game, among which Liang Wenbo and Li Xing were banned for life. The famous player Yan Bingtao was banned for five years, self-destructing his future, which is embarrassing.
Yan Bingtao was charged with: manipulating four matches in which he participated; In 2019-2022, bets on snooker matches were placed in violation of the regulations.
According to the announcement, Yan Bingtao was sentenced to a 7-year and 6-month ban, and after his cooperation and guilty pleas, the ban was reduced to 5 years and will be lifted on December 11, 2027. He would also have to pay a fee of £7,500, which is equivalent to 66,352 yuan at current exchange rates.
Although Yan Bingtao looks old, he is actually a post-00s generation, born on February 16, 2000 in Zibo, Shandong. In 2019, Yan Bingtao won the Snookriga Masters for the first time in his career, and then reached the final four of the British Championship, which was highly anticipated by fans.
In 2021, Yan Bingtao defeated "The Wizard" John Higgins 10-8 in the final of the Snooker Masters, winning the first three major tournament championships of his career and the first "Post-00s" Masters champion in history.
And no one expected that the Chinese snooker hopeful went astray.
At Yan Bingtao's peak, there were many inspirational reports about his growth.
According to Shandong media reports, Yan Bingtao's family is not wealthy, his father is a pharmaceutical factory worker and his mother is a teacher. At the age of 9, Yan Bingtao dropped out of Beijing to learn ball, and his father resigned to accompany him, renting a small house of six or seven square meters.
Yan Bingtao's annual living expenses and training expenses in Beijing are about 100,000 yuan. In order for him to practice, his parents almost hollowed out the bottom of the family, and almost everything he could sell was sold.
After my father resigned, the financial burden of the family fell on my mother. The mother supports the family with frugality and encourages her son to persevere in his dreams. Later, because of years of fatigue, my mother was diagnosed with rectal cancer, and my friends helped make up the cost of the operation.
When he was 14 years old, Yan Bingtao knew to earn prizes by playing games, buy nutritional products for his mother, and supplement the family.
With talent and hard work, Yan Bingtao continues to achieve good results, change his family situation, and change his destiny. Competing in the Masters in 2021, he spent most of his time eating instant noodles in the hotel and eventually won the championship.
However, such a genius teenager who came out of an ordinary family did not resist the temptation of money and went astray.
By the day the ban was lifted, Yan Bingtao was only 27 years old, hoping that he would repent and be brave after knowing his shame, and prove himself with good grades after the ban was lifted.
