Being shot for your execution is called firing squad

Your argument would make complete sense if you are suggesting that Dott's noncing directly contributed to him winning the Snooker World Championship.

Uhh, that's clearly not what I was saying,

I was saying its more offensive, and it's also far more ugly stain on a sport, than actual drug ...

Looks like the latest series has stopped after just 2 episodes and has been swapped with repeats. Last series only got 3 episodes, and the series before had just 4. Clearly struggling to find its audience. I know they’re recording a few more but not sure this series has much of a future.

Yes, I did mean something that's "in the rules" but not nearly as bad... yes.

Sorry for bumping an old thread- why can't they strip this guy of his World Championship win?

So what if the tournament was that long ago, so were the things he did?

Where's the "lateral thinking" or just... thinking
