World snooker champion banned for betting

 

The 2015 world snooker champion Stuart Bingham has been banned for six months – three of them suspended – for betting breaches.

The 41-year-old Englishman – who has been ordered to pay £20,000 ($26,400) costs – admitted breaking World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association (WPBSA) rules on betting on matches involving other players.

The WPBSA said there was no suggestion the world number 10 – who along with Irish cuesman Ken Doherty are the only players to have been crowned world champion at both amateur and professional level – aimed to “influence matches or engage in any corrupt activity”.
