World number one
John Higgins has been suspended from all future tournaments after reportedly agreeing to take a £261,000 bribe to lose frames.
World Snooker chairman Barry Hearn said he had to take "drastic action" following the News of the World report.
The paper says it has video of Higgins and manager Pat Mooney making a deal.
There is no suggestion Higgins has ever thrown a frame or fixed a match and Higgins said: "I have never been involved in any form of match-fixing."
The newspaper's video reportedly shows Mr Higgins and Mr Mooney meeting with an undercover reporter in Kiev, Ukraine, and agreeing to alter the outcome of frames in return for money.
In response to the allegations, Mr Higgins released a statement protesting his innocence, stating: "My conscience is 100% clear.
