I mean if for example a top 16 player loses to a player on let's say 90th place, is it a suspicious match?
The first part of Stephen Lee's appeal against his conviction for match fixing has been adjourned until Monday 17th February 2014.

The real mystery to me is how this guy ever managed to win 5 ranking events, of course, the fact they were all sprint formats and one of them a best of 7 certainly helped him.

What on earth does weight have to do with it? In that it's "the least fit one who's wrecked his life" as you suggest?

Thats not a secret that World Snooker protect cheaters and drugsters but 11.5 years is a hell of a diference.

What happened in the Higgins case happened 4 years ago and has no relevance at all to the lee case.
and btw this forum will not tolerate people making accusations without hard evidence to back it up.
