Graeme Dott severs Pat Mooney ties over snooker 'match-fixing' claim
WORLD Championship runner-up Graeme Dott has parted company with Pat Mooney following allegations of match-fixing against his manager.
A report in Sunday's News of the World alleged that Mooney and three-time world champion John Higgins, who Mooney also represents through his FSTC Management business, had been prepared to fix frames at high-profile tournaments, claims that both men have denied. Mooney has since stood down from his seat on the board of the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association, while Higgins has been suspended from playing pending a WPBSA investigation.
Dott, the 2006 world champion, said in a statement: "Further to the press reports last week involving Mr Pat Mooney, I have terminated my representation contract with Pat Mooney and FSTC Management with immediate effect. I will have no further dealings with either of these parties."
