Saltman: this stigma will endure for the rest of my life

Elliot Saltman has confirmed he will not appeal against the three-month playing ban he received from the European Tour but revealed that, such was his determination toprove his innocence, he undertook and passed a lie detector test.

Although he fiercelydenies cheating, the 28-year-old, who was suspended for a serious breach of regulations during last September’s Russian Challenge Cup, has accepted both his punishment and the inevitable stigma that will cast a shadow over his career.
