Snooker player suspended over match-fixing

Thursday, 11 October 2018 16:00

Snooker player Jamie Jones has been suspended in connection with a corruption investigation.

The Welshman is accused of being part of a plan to fix the outcome of a match between fellow Welshman David John and Graeme Dott in 2016.

Jones, 30, will face a formal hearing with the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association.

Former professional John was suspended in May.

There is no suggestion of wrongdoing against Dott or that matches involving 2012 World Championship quarter-finalist Jones are under suspicion.
