He is now fatter than ever as well.

As far as the Higgins case goes, he never actually threw a frame which is why he wasn't banned for a prolonged period. Stephen Lee's case, there are 15-16 matches where it could have happened. There's one shot he plays from pink to black, a child could play it and finish perfectly, just roll it in plain ball and somehow he ends up behind the black on the cushion playing running side.
