A dramatic fictional report has emerged claiming that Chinese snooker star Zhao Xintong has been removed indefinitely from competitive snooker following an alleged disciplinary matter.
According to the fictional scenario, the decision would have created major shockwaves across the snooker world, particularly because Zhao has enjoyed a remarkable period of success. In 2026, he won major ranking events and rose to the top of the world rankings.
The fictional announcement would leave fans questioning what could have led to such a severe punishment. However, no verified statement from the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association has confirmed an indefinite suspension or dismissal.
In reality, available 2026 records show Zhao continuing to compete professionally. He reached the semi-finals of the Shanghai Masters, won the Tour Championship, and subsequently became world number one.
For now, therefore, the claim that Zhao Xintong has been “sacked indefinitely” should be treated as an unverified fictional headline rather than a confirmed news story.
