FORMER World Snooker Champion has been suspended just days before the start of the Crucible.
The Scottish ace, 47, won the iconic Sheffield competition in 2006.

But Dott will not be competing in this year’s event after he was suspended by the WBPSA.
A WBPSA statement read: “Graeme Dott has been suspended by the WPBSA due to a case which is scheduled to be heard before the High Court in Scotland.
“Whilst court proceedings are ongoing, it would be inappropriate for the WPBSA to make any further comment.”
Dott’s sole World Championship title came 12 years after he turned professional.
The Rangers fan also made two other finals in 2004 and 2010.
The first of those saw him lose to Ronnie O’Sullivan.
While in 2010, Dott was defeated by Neil Robertson.
But in 2006, he achieved his dream with an 18-14 win over Peter Ebdon.
It saw him bank a tasty £200,000 jackpot.
Dott and Ebdon played into the small hours, with their match officially ending at 12.52am the following morning – one of the latest World Championship final finishes ever.
