Snooker’s governing body on Tuesday said it had suspended two more Chinese players as it investigates an alleged match-fixing and betting scandal – bringing the number of players from the Asian country caught up in the probe to 10. In a statement, the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association said former UK Championship winner Zhao Xintong, 25, and his compatriot Zhang Jiankang, 24, were barred from attending or competing on the World Snooker Tour with immediate effect.
Neither Liang or Yan have publicly commented on the ongoing investigation. The specific details regarding the allegations related to the individual suspended players remains unknown. The source of the original allegations also remains unclear. “The WPBSA can confirm that the wider investigation is now at an advanced stage, and it is anticipated will be completed shortly at which point any potential charges will be considered,” the WPBSA statement added.
