World Snooker Chairman Barry Hearn says every match is now being monitored as a guard against match fixing.

Hearn said, "The message is 'we can't stop you but we are going to catch you'."

This follows Stephen Lee being found guilty of match fixing. The former World number 5 now faces a life time ban with a hearing set for September 24.

The allegations concerning Lee relate to seven matches played between 2008 and 2009, including a World Championship match.

Ronnie OSullivan says he has heard of many more matches being fixed while Judd Trump says any player found guilty of match fixing should be thrown out of the game.
