Hearn: Players will be 'terrified' of cheating

Barry Hearn believes snooker players will be “terrified” of cheating the system after seeing John Higgins suspended for allegedly agreeing to fix frames in return for payment.

New world number one Higgins has firmly denied wrongdoing and vowed to clear his name following the News of the World allegations that he and his manager Pat Mooney reached a deal in Kiev with an undercover reporter, posing as a businessman, deliberately to lose frames in four matches to be played later this year.
