The British tabloid newspaper News of the World has a long tradition of exposing sports stars scandals, and this time the world snooker champion John Higgins is screwed.
After Higgins' defeat in the tournament, he flew to Ukraine and met an undercover News of the World investigator. At the meeting, Higgins promised to deliberately lose frames to help illegal gambling syndicates clean up and agreed on the bribe of Euro 300,000. Higgins even bragged that it was easy to fool fans and there was no risk in this kind of cheat.
......
HIGGINS: "It's easy. Its easy."
MOONEY: "You make one mistake. . ."
HIGGINS: "You don't even have to make a mistake."
REPORTER: "You have to be sure if you're going to tell him 'Frame three I'm going to lose."
HIGGINS: "Oh yeah. Frame three I'm going to lose, yes, yes."
REPORTER: "Yeah, but I mean what if he gets a good break? What's the risk factor I mean?"
HIGGINS: "No risk. No, because you can miss."
......
This shameless deal is perfectly filmed and here it is.
John Higgins, has been suspended from the professional snooker tour pending an investigation.
Let us review some of the famous scandals reported by the News of the World
- David Beckham and Rebecca Loos' affair (2004)
- Michael Phelps smokes from a cannabis bong (2009)
- Max Mosley's sexual acts with 5 prostitutes (2008)
- Sven's secret affairs(2004)
I have got only one doubt - How could this paper miss Tiger Woods?
