Point being is that you can't compare the 2 punishments because technically they aren't for the same crime.Darth Randall wrote:its very naive to believe that line in fairness.Grazer wrote:Higgins was never found guilty of match fixing, his guilty verdict was for bringing the game into disrepute for failing to report an approachDarth Randall wrote:Looks quite ridiculous next to higginsGrazer wrote:12 year ban and £40,000 costs

Re: Stephen Lee found guilty of match fixing
That maybe true but it's a different discussion to comparing the punishments they both got. A sentence can only be passed on the crime they were found guilty for. Whether we like it or not, Higgins was found not guilty, Lee wasn'tDarth Randall wrote:becaure higgins was deemed to important to the game to suffer the full force.Grazer wrote:Point being is that you can't compare the 2 punishments because technically they aren't for the same crime.Darth Randall wrote:its very naive to believe that line in fairness.Grazer wrote:Higgins was never found guilty of match fixing, his guilty verdict was for bringing the game into disrepute for failing to report an approachDarth Randall wrote: Looks quite ridiculous next to higgins

Re: Stephen Lee found guilty of match fixing
Barry Hearn, who took over as World Snooker chairman two years ago and set up an integrity unit headed by former detective chief superintendent Nigel Mawer, has promised a "zero-tolerance" approach to cheating.
"I am independent and outside the organisation and have a law enforcement background, and all the intelligence on irregular betting comes to me," said Mawer.
