LONDON — Snooker's world No. 7 Stephen Lee was suspended by snooker's governing body Friday after an investigation was launched into suspicious betting patterns in a Premier League match with John Higgins. Lee, 38, was already the subject of an investigation by the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association (WPBSA) who were looking into match-fixing allegations in 2010. The Englishman, however, has already been told he will not face a criminal prosecution over those claims. Lee's manager Adam Quigley said his client was devastated by the allegations. — AP
