The WPBSA has announced that it has handed charges to all 10 Chinese players who have been investigated for match-fixing.
Last month, it was revealed that former Masters champion Yan Bingtao had been suspended from the World Snooker Tour due to an ongoing investigation.
That development came just days after five other players - Lu Ning, Li Hang, Zhao Jianbo, Bai Langning and Chang Bingyu - had all been suspended for similar reasons.
A further four Chinese representatives in Liang Wenbo, Zhao Xintong, Zhang Jiankang and Chen Zifan took the total of players being investigated into double figures.
On Wednesday morning, it was revealed in an official statement by the WPBSA that each of those concerned "have a case to answer".
The statement also gave a full account of charges relating to each player, starting with Wenbo who is said to have attempted to "obstruct the investigation".
It read: "Liang Wenbo has been charged with being concerned in fixing matches and approaching players to fix matches on the World Snooker Tour, seeking to obstruct the investigation and failing to cooperate with the WPBSA investigation.
"Li Hang has been charged with being concerned in fixing matches and approaching players to fix matches on the World Snooker Tour, seeking to obstruct the investigation and betting on snooker matches.
