Snooker Match-Fixing Scandal Leads to Lifetime Bans, Suspensions

Years of training and dedication have only led to failure for two veteran Chinese snooker players. Liang Wenbo and Li Hang have been given lifetime bans by the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association (WPBSA) for their participation in match-fixing in the sport.

Liang and Li were charged by the Independent Disciplinary Committee on Tuesday for their involvement in the corruption scheme, according to a WPBSA announcement. They also influenced or coerced others to fix matches.

They apparently succeeded in convincing several others to participate. Eight more players, all from China, received bans of varying lengths. All of the accused have until June 20 to challenge the verdict.

That is bad attitudes on the part of the two Chinese. In my country, there is a saying of '' All days are for thief, one day is for the owner''.. Liang and Li must had been engaging in this immoral act for long for them to had successfully coarced others in game fixing before they were caught. Anyway it is a lesson for all.
