Was Stephen Lee not meant to play?
Hi Keith. Stephen Lee is currently suspended from entering any World Snooker competitions over allegations of match fixing. Shame he won’t be able to defend his title.
I remember reading somewhere that this would be the tournament he returns in, despite the suspension. Oh well…
