Falsifying matches!! You mean throwing games? Or manufacturing 10 - nil scorelines in a massive final? SMH
Those two are the most disappointing, because they were the ones having the most success.
I'd never condone match fixing, but you can at least understand somebody hard-up and struggling for money doing something they regret, especially if they had a family to feed or some such.
But these two had such a bright future ahead of them. They were both top-16ers. A shame.
they weren't always in the top 16, zhao had even fallen off the tour once in the past.
And by the time he had success already in too deep? Maybe
is there any indication that these specific charges relate to recent events?
though yes, if they had in the past when less successful that would be blackmail material now.

Falsifying matches could just be uploading them incorrectly on CueTracker, to be fair…

Early June was the last I heard regarding the 10 but not sure how solid that was given the leaked info suggested they were meeting a couple of weeks ago to decide on the penalties.

Think they're waiting for the Think Pink deadline. It'll be the day after.

My inside source (some old guy from my club who knows someone who knows apparently knows someone else) said they will not be announcing the penalties until Q School has finished. Cast iron information. You heard it here first.

Yes, I'd imagine he's likely to make it back in 2025/26.

What a buck up Yan is. Taken Xintong down as well from the reports but shorter ban for him.

Heard this on the Radio. Thought they said Yan Bingtao had been banned for life.
Liang makes more sense. Not that I am condoning Yan's behaviour.
