Snooker

World Snooker (WPBSA) has slapped a 12-year ban on Stephen Lee, after the former world number-five player was found guilty of match-fixing earlier this month.

World Snooker champion Ronnie O'Sullivan has clarified his comments claiming that many players were involved in match-fixing and that the sport’s governing body wanted to hide the issue.

World Snooker chairman Barry Hearn has asked snooker player Ronnie O’Sullivan to provide any details of match-fixing, following his comments made via Twitter today.

Snooker could be on the Olympic schedule by the 2028 Games, according to the sport’s commercial rights-holder.

India will stage its first World Snooker ranking event in October.

The Snooker Masters tournament will return to London’s Alexandra Palace in 2014, after successfully hosting the competition for the past two years.
