Higgins Case Handed Over
Snooker fans will have to wait before hearing the outcome of investigations into the allegations made against John Higgins by The News of the World in May.
A statement released today by World Snooker reads:
The WPBSA Disciplinary Committee has resolved to refer an investigation arising from the News of the World newspaper's report of May 2, 2010, which contained allegations against John Higgins and Pat Mooney, to a hearing board convened under the auspices of Sport Resolutions UK.
David Douglas, head of the WPBSA's disciplinary committee, said: "Sport Resolutions deals with cases in various sports and is named in WPBSA disciplinary rules. It is completely independent of the WPBSA and we have no doubt that it will bring a fair conclusion to this matter."
There will be no further comment at this stage.
