At the time of this writing (Wednesday, June 7, 2023), he has been permanently banned from professional snooker following his involvement in match-fixing.

Wenbo became a professional player in 2005 and was consistent throughout his career rising through the ranks to become one of the most sought-after snooker players.

His best performance in the World Championship was reaching the quarter-finals in 2008, where he eventually lost to O’Sullivan.

During his career, he made three maximum breaks in professional competition and achieved a career-high of 11th in the snooker world rankings.

In June 2023, Liang Wenbo hit major headlines following his lifetime ban from being a professional snooker player for his involvement in match-fixing.

The ban was announced by the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association (WPBSA) on Wednesday, June 6, 2023.

Prior to this permanent ban, the WPBSA suspended him from professional competition from 2 April until 1 August 2022 following a domestic assault conviction.

Wenbo was suspended for behavior unbecoming of a sportsperson and for bringing the sport into disrepute.

In October of that same year (2022), the WPBSA disclosed that he had been suspended amid a match-fixing investigation that subsequently implicated ten other Chinese players.

In January 2023, the WPSBA charged him with fixing matches, approaching players to fix matches, seeking to obstruct its investigation, and failing to cooperate with the investigation.

As of Wednesday, June 7, 2023, Liang Wenbo has been banned by the WPBSA from snooker for life after being found guilty of serial match-fixing.

Li Hang was also handed a permanent ban with eight other players receiving bans ranging from 20 months to five years and four months from the WPBSA.

The allegations include manipulating games, approaching players to cheat, betting on snooker, and fixing matches. However, all 10 players have until 20 June to appeal against the decisions.
