Snooker:A match due to be played between Joe Jogia and Matthew Selt on Saturday is being investigated by the game's governing body after they were made aware of unusual betting patterns relating to it.
The World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association (WPBSA) said that an unusually high number of bets had been placed on Selt to win the Snooker Shootout match in Blackpool, and that the matter had been referred to the head of their integrity unit, Nigel Mawer.
WPBSA chairman Jason Ferguson said: “Maintaining the integrity of snooker is essential to protect the sport. Working with our partners we will take all necessary steps to establish what has taken place and take appropriate action.”
Ferguson later confirmed to Press Association Sport that as things stood the match between Jogia and Selt would still go ahead.
