Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, April 3 (Reporter Zheng Zhiliang Jinxiong) Chinese billiard player Liang Wenbo was sentenced by Sheffield District Court to pay a fine and perform community labor for a previous incident of beating a woman on the street.

The suspension will remain in effect until the hearing is over and the outcome is determined. Liang Wenbo has the right to appeal the decision.
