The decision, confirmed late last night, follows what insiders describe as a “serious breach of professional conduct,” though official statements have remained carefully worded. The organization emphasized its commitment to integrity, transparency, and maintaining the highest standards both on and off the table.
Fans and players alike have reacted with a mixture of disbelief and concern, as the chairman had long been seen as a stabilizing figure in the modern era of snooker. Under his leadership, the sport experienced notable global growth, increased prize funds, and expanded international tournaments.

As the story continues to unfold, one thing is certain—this marks the end of an era, and the beginning of a period of uncertainty for the future of professional snooker.
