The dirty world of snooker

I always thought that snooker was a dirty game. Here's proof from an AP story.

LONDON (AP) - Former world snooker champion John Higgins was suspended Sunday over allegations that he accepted money to influence match results as part of a betting scam.

The 34-year-old Scot, who lost his world title last week, was filmed by the News of the World newspaper apparently agreeing to accept $400,000 from undercover reporters in Kiev in return for losing certain frames in matches to be played later this year.

Barry Hearn, chairman of the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association, said Higgins had been suspended pending an investigation. His manager, Pat Mooney, who was also filmed
accepting the deal, has resigned from snooker's governing body.

I'm going to try and just blog, hence the new blog, Rich's disjointed ramblings. We'll see where it goes from here.
