Jogia ban sends a message, say snooker bosses

The World Professional Snooker and Billiards Association are confident the two-year ban handed to Joe Jogia yesterday demonstrates their serious stance on the threat of corruption.

The world number 57 was banned until after the 2014 World Championship following an investigation into suspicious betting patterns relating to his scheduled Snooker Shoot-out match against Matthew Selt on January 28.
