(Reuters) – China’s Chen Zifan has been suspended from the World Snooker Tour as part of an investigation into alleged match-fixing, the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association (WPBSA) said on Friday.
The WPBSA suspended earlier this month six Chinese players: Lu Ning, Li Hang, Zhao Jianbo, Bai Langning, Chang Bingyu and Yan Bingtao – as part of the match-fixing investigation.
Their compatriot Liang Wenbo was suspended in October pending the results of a misconduct investigation.
Chen, 27, has the right to appeal the ban.
