HIGGINS CASE: HEARING DATE SET

John Higgins will learn his fate, following allegations in the News of the World that he was prepared to lose frames for money, in a two day hearing on September 7 and 8.

The tribunal at Sports Resolutions will be presided over by Ian Mill QC.

I understand that Higgins's punishment - if applicable - will be decided at the hearing.

It is not ideal that this falls in the middle of the Shanghai Masters but a date had to be found that was acceptable to all parties.

If Higgins is found guilty (10/11 each of two) then he will probably appeal, which will take this into the new year - so every chance of a less than speedy final decision.

well said Barry H, weeks rather than months.

ok, he wasnt to know, BUT THAT IS EXACTLY MY POINT

next time Barry, just say as soon as possible, instead of the rubbish we all knew would spiral into months
