In a shocking turn of events that has rocked the snooker world, Australian professional snooker legend Neil Robertson has been banned and suspended from all competitive play after testing positive for a prohibited substance. The announcement was made earlier today by the World Snooker Federation, confirming that the 2026 season will see the 41-year-old star sidelined pending further investigation.

Robertson, a multiple ranking event winner and one of snooker’s most celebrated figures, is known for his precision cue work and dominance on the professional tour. The suspension comes as a huge blow to fans and the snooker community alike, with many expressing disbelief at the sudden development.

“The integrity of the sport is our top priority,” the Federation stated. “While Neil Robertson’s achievements are unquestionable, rules regarding prohibited substances must be upheld without exception.” The organization has also indicated that an independent panel will review the case, with potential penalties including extended suspension or fines, depending on the outcome of their investigation.

Fellow players and commentators have taken to social media to express a mix of shock, disappointment, and support. Some have emphasized that while the allegations are serious, due process must be respected, highlighting the importance of transparency in high-profile sporting cases.

This suspension marks one of the most significant disruptions in professional snooker in recent years, and fans will be watching closely as the situation unfolds. Robertson’s future in the sport now hangs in the balance, pending the conclusion of official investigations and hearings.
