Jason Ferguson, WPBSA Chairman said “I have no doubt that this was a difficult case for the Independent Disciplinary Committee to deal with as it had already been heard in a criminal court.
“Despite this, neither I, nor the WPBSA could accept this type of behaviour from one of our members which led me to immediately suspend Liang just prior to the largest event and with the biggest prize money of the snooker season.
“I am pleased the Committee upheld this decision.”
The WPBSA said “Liang has the right to appeal the decision of the Independent Disciplinary Committee.”
The 2022/23 snooker season starts with the Championship League on June 28.
