News Of The World has reported that snooker world champion John Higgins agreed to take money to lose frames in a snooker tournament.
NOTW is famous for stitch-ups and false stories and have been sued for libel many times.
Anyone who has had the displeasure of working in the corrupt, lawless and mafia/gang controlled Kiev will know how easily it is to be intimidated, and how a wealthy snooker player who has been duped into a meeting with what he believes are Russian gangsters would, as we all would, say anything to placate the chaps and then get the hell out of the country.
The News Of The World took full advantage of this environment of fear to stitch up two great ambassadors of the sport, and to ruin their reputations and careers, simply in order to sell a few newspapers.
