It's a shame they cant be transparent and not leave this
open to innuendo. Thats a hefty fine and going before a
disciplinary committee seems serious enough.
One rule infringement results in a fine of £250, the second one of £500, the third of £1,000 and the fourth of £5,000. So if Ding had three strikes against his name then missing the dinner would have triggered the automatic £5,000 penalty.
We contacted World Snooker for a response but the governing body has been unable to confirm the reasons for the fine.
The above was taken from Inside Snooker.
Ding has now been knocked out of the last two tournaments in the first round
after having a brilliant season. Wuxi is his home area so many fans will be very
disappointed I am sure.
As he is one of my fave players I hope he sorts all of this out and gets back
to his winning ways.
