Neal Foulds on Yan Bingtao's match-fixing ban – ‘I don’t know what possessed him'
Neal Foulds has given his view after the WPBSA (World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association) Disciplinary Commission handed down a raft of punishments following its investigation into match-fixing. Eurosport analyst Foulds has said he is bewildered by the course of action pursued by the 2021 Masters champion Yan Bingtao, who was banned for five years on Tuesday for fixing four matches and betting on the outcome of several others between 2016 and 2022. Ad Amid a range of punishments doled out pending an appeal to 10 Chinese professionals – which saw Liang Wenbo and Li Hang punished with lifetime bans in the WPBSA’s biggest investigation of match-fixing – Foulds could not understand why Yan would jeopardise his lofty standing in the sport.
