SNOOKER players unwittingly dragged into one of sport’s greatest match-fixing scandals have reacted with horror.
Rob Milkins was one of the players of last season, winning the Welsh Open and pocketing about £400,000.
But as 10 Chinese players were banned, including Liang Wenbo and Li Hang for life, it emerged that Milkins’ 5-0 win against Lu Ning in a European Masters qualifier last July had been corrupt.
Lu was banned for five years and four months for fixing four matches, as well as failing to co-operate with the investigation and betting on snooker.
Ireland’s Aaron Hill was another to find out that his 4-0 victory over Zhao Jianbo in a Northern Ireland Open qualifier last August had been fixed.
