SNOOKER:

Chinese players Yu Delu and Cao Yupeng have been banned from snooker after admitting match-fixing.

Yu has been banned for 10 years and nine months after an investigation discovered he manipulated the outcome of five matches over a two-and-ahalf-year period.

Cao, 28, has been banned for six years, although three-and-a-half years are suspended. He was found to have fixed three different matches.
