| Other information | ONE YEAR BAN He was suspended for one year for unruly behaviour at the December 2004 World Doubles Championships in India. He was banned by the World Squash Federation after losing his temper in a semifinal defeat. During the match he had made prolonged protests to officials to have the ball changed and racquet abuse and his refusal to leave the court directly leading to the suspension. His outburst followed similar controversial behaviour at the World Open in Qatar, when he lost his temper at what he regarded as some doubtful calls in his semifinal loss to Lee Beachill.
