With his 12-year ban coming to an end on October 12th, 2024, former snooker world number five Stephen Lee has already discussed the possibility of returning to competitive action.in October 2012 following reports from two bookmakers of illegal betting patterns surrounding a match in the 2012 Premier League, which Lee lost 4-2.
They also concluded that he deliberately lost matches against two opponents at the 2008 Malta Cup, and agreed to lose the first frame in matches against two other opponents at the 2008 UK Championship.Lee was banned for a total of 12 years but WPBSA head of disciplinary Nigel Mawer said it was in effect "a life ban because I think it is highly unlikely that Stephen Lee will be able to come back to the sport at this level.
“We can only just see what happens in a couple of years’ time. I have some exciting things coming up, and I’m also getting older."He added: “My eyes are getting worse, and I never had good eyes to start with. As you get older the determination and the fire goes.” As a result of the unpaid fines, Lee will not be able to participate on the Q Tour, Q School, and the WSF Championship.
