Three-time world champion Ronnie O'Sullivan insists he would never throw a snooker match but believes players are regularly offered the opportunity to do so.

John Higgins made a winning return following a six-month ban from snooker today as he claimed a 4-2 success against Joe Jogia at the European Players Tour Championship in Hamm, Germany.

John Higgins is concerned how he will be treated by his fellow professionals when he makes his comeback next week.
