When people dug out Robin Hull, I was pretty sure that Bjorn Haneveer was one of the non UK players, who participated in a WC, but apperently he never made it to Sheffield.
People in general are basically dishonest given the chance. I would not expect them to call a penalty on themselves. Camaras everywhere now though have put a little fear into people. Not that it has changed their instincts, they are just a little more fearful of consequences.
My interactions with fellow pool players has been overwhelmingly positive. I've been cheated a handful of times. The problem is -- the bad actors stand out and paint a bad picture.
I would say the vast majority of pro golfers and pro snooker players. You regularly see snooker players calling fouls on themselves in the biggest events.
It’s a culture thing - they were raised in the game knowing it was expected. There is hope for pool though - I remember Mickey Krause called a foul on himself in the Mosconi Cup.
