John Higgins suspended in snooker bribe investigation!

I was sad to read this and wonder if there will be more famous players involved in it!

I think it's been going on for years Rose . . . he was unlucky to get caught . . . big sports events always have the devious ones trying to make a dishonest buck.

You are correct, Denis, but it is sad to see someone who has done great do something like that. Perhaps he will be proved innocent! Brings a bad taste in the mouth though as I wonder how many more are of the same ilk!

Hope you are hail and hearty!

Judging by how some players got out in the IPl cricket I dont doubt that people are trying to make a quick buck.

I am still in mid stream with this after seeing the video and watching Higgins facial expressions.

I`m no big snooker fan but I do like sport to be fair-Higgins is innocent until proved guilty but I also remember this
