LONDON (AP) — Snooker’s governing body is investigating unusual betting patterns in a match between six-time world champion Steve Davies and Thepchaiya Un-Nooh of Thailand at a tournament in England last week.
The World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association said in a statement on its website Wednesday that the case has been passed to its integrity unit “to establish what has taken place and to consider if any action is appropriate.”
The 55-year-old Davis won 4-0 in the third-round match of the Players Tour Championship last Saturday.
WPBSA Chairman Jason Ferguson says his organization takes “any potential breach of the Members Betting Rules very seriously” and that “any player found guilty of such a breach is likely to be banned for life from snooker.”
