Fixing any match is disgraceful, but to throw a match in the world championship that you have a good chance of winning is completely beyond the pale.
If he values a few quid higher than the title of World Snooker Champion, then he has no place in the sport anyway. |

the game is dying a slow death as it his,just another large nail in the coffin.

From the WPBSA Statement
In one case the person collected the successful bet and placed the half of the winnings into Lee's wife's bank account.  The bets were placed by three groups of people. The first were organised by his then sponsor who opened multiple betting accounts with various associates. These accounts were used to place the bets. The second group were coordinated by his then manager who placed almost identical bets. The third was an individual known to Lee who placed the same bets independently of the other two groups. His sponsor, his manager and another ffs what thick coonts as if they really thought they could pull it off. Fat chance. |

He has threw more than one match. One other in particular comes to mind. It was in the premier league a short time before he was suspended.

Small children will be laughing in the streets at Lee and The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight. I'm not surprised either. It's just about impossible getting caught at fixing sports events unless one is truly incompetent.
Surely there's a business opportunity here for horse-racing types (acknowledged masters of their craft) to set themselves up as Professional Fixing Advisers to second-rate sportsmen? |

Saw him at a speaking event recently. Insisted he did nothing wrong.
Didn't sound very convincing to me. |

By:
I've often lay in bed wondering how easy/difficult it'd be to fix a match and I've come to the conclusion it wouldn't be too easy. I know it sounds like I'm an after timer cos of Stephen Lee, but your reward for fixing the match would have to be completely untraceable which is almost impossible. And you couldn't trust anyone these days.

http://www.worldsnooker.com/staticFiles/9b/be/0,,13165~179867,00.pdf The WPBSA’s case was that in advance of seven matches at the Malta Cup 2008, the UK Championships 2008, the China Open 2009 and the World Championships 2009, Mr Lee gave inside information to various associates, who then bet on the basis of it and also passed it to others in their group to do the same. The matches are: 21.1 Match 1, Malta Cup 2008 (a round robin non ranking tournament), 4 February 2008, Lee v Neil Robertson, Lee lost 1-5. 21.2 Match 2, Malta Cup 2008, 5 February 2008, Lee v Ken Doherty, Lee lost 2-4. 21.3 Match 3, Malta Cup 2008, 7 February 2008, Lee v Marco Fu, Lee lost 1-5. 21.4 Match 4 is no longer relied upon by the WPBSA as a fixed match. It was at the Malta Cup 2008, Lee v Jo Swail, Lee won. 21.5 Match 5, UK Championships 2008 (a ranking knock out tournament), 13-14 December 2008, Lee v Stephen Hendry, Lee won 9-7 but lost the first frame. 21.6 Match 6, UK Championships 2008, 15-16 December 2008, Lee v Mark King, Lee won 9-5 but lost the first frame. 21.7 Match 7, China Open 2009 (a ranking knock out tournament), 1 April 2009, Lee v Mark Selby, Lee lost 1-5. 21.8 Match 8, World Championships (a ranking knock out tournament), 22 April 2009, Lee v Ryan Day, Lee lost 10-4 |

Imagine the conversations with his kids in 5-10 years time:
'Dad, can you fix it for me to have driving lessons' 'Dad, can you help arrange my wedding?' He's going to spend the rest of his life cringing. |

Actually these are the matches he has been found guilty of. The previous list was what was investigated. -
Stephen Lee guilty of.. 2008 Malta Cup: Conspired to lose to Ken Doherty and Marco Fu, while conspired to lose to Neil Robertson by a pre-determined score, with the match ending 5-1 to Robertson. 2008 UK Championship: Agreed to lose the first frame in matches against Stephen Hendry and Mark King. 2009 China Open: To lose to Mark Selby by a set score, Selby winning 5-1. 2009 World Championship: That Ryan Day would win by a pre-arranged score, Day winning 10-4. |

cheating to win is one thing but cheating to lose?
Whose bank account was he trying to prop up? He is already well paid himself. Anyone know exactly how he was caught out ? |

At least now he has more time to partake in MacDonalds secret Menu, the land sea & air burger is apparently his fav treat

I wonder how much of a saver was put on 5-0 scorelines at the Chinese Open and Maltese Cup?

His sponsor was betting on the fixed matches. His manager was betting on the fixed matches. And a 3rd person was betting on the fixed matches. And half the winnings ended up in Stephen Lee`s wifes bank account. He has been a Doh Peek Hunt alright. |

Stephen's not northern by the way, SK.

I didn't know that Angel, thanks, haven't really followed it, come to that I haven't really followed Snooker in a long time, in that case, I'm surprised he denied it given there was an electronic trail.

Good point Pokermonster, you would have to sail close to the wind with that scoreline without a saver on 5-0
