Stephen Lee set to learn punishment

Stephen Lee will discover his punishment for match-fixing today.

The 38-year-old, who was found guilty of seven match-fixing charges by an independent tribunal last week, had been due to learn his fate yesterday but the confirmation of his sanction has been delayed by a day.

A statement from the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association read: “The hearing in the case of Stephen Lee to decide the sanction took place today. Adam Lewis QC will deliver his decision on sanction tomorrow.”

Lee, the former world No 5, could face a life ban from snooker after being found guilty of match-fixing charges relating to seven matches in 2008 and 2009.
