The world No1 snooker player John Higgins will be free to resume his playing career in November after being cleared today of the most serious charges laid against him relating to allegations of match-fixing.
Higgins has been handed an six-month ban (backdated to May) for breaching rules about discussions about betting, and for failing to report an approach from a would-be corruptor. He has been fined ā75,000.
But on the most serious charges related to fixing, the Scot has been exonerated.
Higgins’ business partner, Pat Mooney, was found guilty of discussing and planning frame-fixing (details to follow) – done without Higgins’ knowledge, a tribunal hearing ruled, having considered detailed evidence from an extensive investigation – and won’t ever be allowed to play any role in snooker again.
The News of the World alleged on 2 May that Higgins shook hands “on a disgraceful deal to fix a string of high-profile matches after demanding a ā300,000 kickback.”
Higgins and Mooney had were filmed in Kiev in April apparently agreeing to a “fix” deal by undercover reporters who successively pretended they were businessmen wanting to stage tournaments, and shady gamblers wanting to bet on them.
Higgins, a three-times world champion, will now be able to return to action soon.
