Stephen Lee admits charge of fraud relating to snooker cue

Banned snooker player Stephen Lee has admitted to a charge of fraud relating to the sale of his snooker cue.

The former world number five, who lost his appeal against a 12-year ban for match-fixing last month, has been fined £1,815.

According to Sky Sports News, Swindon Crown Court heard that Lee failed to send the cue to a fan in Hong Kong, despite the individual paying money into the bank account of the snooker player's wife.

Lee, who was fined an additional £35,000 following a £40,000 sanction when he was banned for match-fixing, arranged to sell the snooker cue via Facebook.
