http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/snooker/24122626 World champion Ronnie O'Sullivan says Stephen Lee is not the only player guilty of fixing snooker matches. Lee, 38, is awaiting sentence after a tribunal decided he had fixed seven games in 2008 and 2009. "I've heard there's many more players who throw snooker matches. I suppose Steve Lee was just caught out," O'Sullivan tweeted. World Snooker chairman Barry Hearn told BBC Radio 5 live that integrity units are now checking for match fixing. "No need to worry if you got nothing to hide. But plenty of people have got loads to hide. That's why there is no free speech. They're hiding," O'Sullivan added in a further tweet. We've been plagued by match fixing in the Italian leagues and other sports, it looks like Snooker is the next in line for match fixing. I wonder if the Prem has simular problems?
It helps me fall asleep. Nothing like watching a little snooker in the afternoon to aid a restful nap....
None of this surprises me, it's further evidence that the exchanges (Betfair in particular) have encouraged corruption in sport. Any 1 v 1 sport is liable to fixing, tennis, squash, badminton, darts to name just some of those I know have suffered fixed results or fixed elements of the game. Exchanges have alot to answer for.....
