Beats a suspension I guess. One good run in the next tournament and he's covered his fine, so World Snooker are essentially just giving him an incentive to apply himself more professionally.<br /><br />I don't think the allegation against Yupeng was actually of line; he clearly didn't own up to a foul and it was unsporting. The problem with the comment was when he generalized it to all Chinese players, which was a bit out of order.

I used to be a massive snooker fan but now there is quite frankly too much snooker with all the small tournaments that cause all my favourite players to either retire, take an extended break or slip down the rankings. It is imperative that a ranking system that allows players to pick and choose at a lesser cost is introduced. <br />Thank you and nice blog as always, Dave!Urindragonnoreply@blogger.com
