This story continues to get worse. There are 24 Chinese players who play on the World Tour, 10 are now suspended on suspicion of fixing matches including their two best players.

:IRI Hossein Vafaei beat :ENG Mark Selby 6-2 in the first round of Masters. I wonder if he's any popular back home given his rise up the snooker ranks in the last 18-24 months? @MHSN

it depends on what you consider "popular". he is popular among those who follow this sport but that's not a big group.

 

so let's say he is well known inside the sport community but if he walks on the streets (anywhere outside of his hometown) most probably nobody will recognize him.

Yeah, I see Zhao Xintong has also been suspended :facepalm:

Very shocking to me. Zhao Xintong in my mind is a very gentle, polite, disciplined player. I could never link him to match fixing for gambling before. I think all 10 Chinese suspended players linked to Liang Wenbo who was the first one being suspended. He said he would let the thing going big on social media after being investigated. One of the suspended player said on social media that he was forced to fix the match under the pressure of Liang Wenbo only once as a young player.

    • And I am for your ban here, you are as dumb as newborn baby, except you are much older and you can't even write properly, so go to school at first, learn something and then came back
    • @bestmen Look, I've been reading your comments regarding Russia for quite some time, and I don't want to bite my tongue this time.   First, context matters. I agree with @copravolley. It’s not an insult to say that people who don’t live near Russia often underestimate what this war actually means for Europe. Out of the three of us, I can say with certainty that I feel the most directly affected by and concerned about this war.   In the same way I wouldn’t share my opinions on Africans and the conflicts on their continent, or lecture Palestinians about the war in Gaza, it’s reasonable to listen first when Europeans explain why this is not just a political disagreement that happens to block Russian athletes from competing, but an ongoing war of aggression that doesn’t only affect Ukraine, but also countless other countries located nearby with a long and dramatic history of communism and Russian influence. To make it clear, you're absolutely entitled to your opinion. However, you have repeatedly pushed the same narrative about the supposed injustice towards Russian competitors.   Second of all, the claim that Russian athletes have nothing to do with politics is blatantly wrong. It's a lie, and you know it. Countless Russians are actively supporting the crimes that Russia is committing on Ukrainian soil, advocating for further military operations, and show little to no remorse. Many Russians supported Putin throughout his presidential campaigns and continued doing so even after the invasion. Just look at their public statements made over the past three years. They are expected to align with the state’s narrative. That’s not an individual moral judgment, it’s how the system works.   Major Russian sports clubs are directly linked to or derived from the military. Hockey players wear war symbols and slogans on their jerseys, and this is only the tip of the iceberg. Russian sports and politics are two sides of the same coin, closely related ever since the state began pouring money into centralised doping programs and sporting propaganda. Bringing up Netanyahu or Israeli doping is pretty much just whataboutism. If there is proven, systematic wrongdoing in sport, it should be addressed through proper investigations and sanctions. That does not magically erase or excuse Russia’s actions, nor does it justify pretending this war doesn’t exist when it becomes inconvenient.

    • Slovakia pulled the goalie out in the Overtime and played 4 vs 3  for more than 2 minutes    We suddeenly pulled out goalie and have control of the puck for like 2 minutes in the first 2 minutes of the overtime but without soring than lost the puck and give up a 2 on 0 breakaway empty net goal for the czechs    Interesting strategy
