WPBSA imposed penalties on several snooker players from China

China’s snooker authorities have upheld lifetime bans for match-fixing handed out to Liang Wenbo and Li Hang by the WPBSA and given five other players longer suspensions for domestic matches.

The Chinese Billiards and Snooker Association (CBSA) announced on Wednesday that 2021 Masters champion Yan Bingtao, who received a five-year ban from the WPBSA earlier this month, was banned from all domestic events and activities for seven and a half years.

Zhao Xintong, who won the UK Championship in 2021, was banned for a year and eight months. Lu Ning had his ban pushed up to eight years, Bai Langning to four years, and Zhang Jiankang to four years and five months.
