Not exactly. He's guilty of discussing match fixing and not reporting the approach. Hahn got 8 years for pretty much the same...


Not guilty on bribing but guilty on bringing the game into disrepute. He may still recieve a ban but i doubt it will be a lengthy one.

A 75,000 pound fine and a 6 month ban backdated to May. He will be clear to play again in November.
