Mark King has been banned for five years and fined £68,000 after being found guilty of match fixing.
An independent disciplinary committee found the 50-year-old Englishman guilty of one count of match fixing and one count of providing inside information on a match.
The former Northern Ireland Open champion was suspended by the sport’s world governing body, the WPBSA, on 18 March, 2023 after suspicious betting was reported on his match with Joe Perry on 13 February, 2023 at the Welsh Open.
King, who denied the charges in the case, has until 28 November to appeal against the decisions of the independent disciplinary committee.
