Henry Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Stephen Lee has been banned for 12 years after being found guilty of seven charges of match-fixing. The 38-year-old was found guilty of seven match-fixing charges by an independent tribunal last week with the sanction imposed on Wednesday morning. Lee, the former world No5, was found guilty of match-fixing charges relating to seven matches in 2008 and 2009. The matches in question were three in the Malta Cup in 2008, two in the UK Championship in the same year, one in the 2009 China Open 2009 and one in the 2009 World Championship. A statement from the World Professional Billards and Snooker Association (WPBSA) said: "The suspension is to be calculated from 12 October 2012, when the interim suspension was imposed. Therefore Stephen Lee will not be able to participate in snooker before 12 October 2024." The WPBSA had been seeking a lifetime ban but the organisation's head of disciplinary Nigel Mawer insisted the 12-year suspension was effectively the same thing. "We did say we were seeking a life ban because if it was seven matches that had been fixed including during the world championships. But in effect it is a life ban because I think it is highly unlikely that Stephen Lee will be able to come back to the sport at this level. "We don't take great pleasure out of that – this is a case of a fantastic snooker player who has thrown it all away through making the wrong decisions. It is only human to have a degree of sympathy for him and it is going to be very difficult for him but we have to send a very strong message that match-fixing is not going to be tolerated. "To my knowledge this is the longest ban ever handed down and there are £40,000 costs to pay too if he ever wants to come back." Mawer added that he believed snooker was overwhelmingly a clean sport: "I have only had to investigate four incidents in 7,000 matches and two of those have led to suspensions, which puts it in context."

K-9 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Should get a campaign going for whole country to vote for Stephen Lee as Sports Personality of the Year award and get this back slapping nonsense off our screens. Link to comment
K-9 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/snooker/24462329 Stephen Lee saying he done nothing wrong. REALLY? Watch the shots and you'll see it is blatant.Doesn't leave anything open on shot 1, shot 2 is just running out of position, shot 3 leaves nothing on again and isn't even a miss as pot not on in first place, shot 4 on blue if meaning to miss makes him very lucky man as it almost goes in bobbling in jaws.

E-P-K Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 No doubting he is a knob, however a 147 to win the tournament last night, left handed, by RoS, is rather impressive. Link to comment
minijc Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 No doubting he is a knob, however a 147 to win the tournament last night, left handed, by RoS, is rather impressive.Absolute genius, find it funny though that earlier in the week he branded the 147 prize money as "shit" and that he wasn't fussed to hit one but would have been nice for the fans. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEnNiHGGqfA Link to comment
tightbreeks Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Selby can be a bit of a douche, sipping water in the opponents eye-line. taking his time over potting easy balls. I'm all for gamesmanship, but when you need all the help you can muster when you play the rocket. Link to comment
