Disgraced Snooker Star Wins Again After Serving Ban
Stephen Lee Wins Second Tournament Since Ban
Stephen Lee, the snooker player who was banned for 12 years for match-fixing, has won his second tournament since returning to the sport in 2020. Lee won the Q-School event 3 in Barnsley, England, on Monday, beating Sean Maddocks 4-1 in the final.
The victory comes just two months after Lee won the Q-School event 1 in Gloucester, England. Those wins have earned him a two-year tour card, which will allow him to compete in the World Snooker Tour for the 2022/23 and 2023/24 seasons.
Lee Made a 147 Break During the Tournament
In addition to winning the tournament, Lee also made a 147 break during the event. A 147 break is the highest possible break in snooker, and it is considered to be one of the most difficult shots in the sport.
Lee's victory has been met with mixed reactions from the snooker community. Some people believe that he should not be allowed to compete in the sport after being found guilty of match-fixing. Others believe that he has served his ban and should be given a second chance.
Lee has admitted to match-fixing in the past, but he has said that he is now a changed man. He has said that he is committed to playing the game fair and that he wants to win tournaments on merit.
Only time will tell if Lee can live up to his promises. However, his recent victories suggest that he is still a force to be reckoned with on the snooker circuit.
