Blake Morgan has announced the successful representation of Darius Knight, a former England international table tennis player, in overturning a match fixing charge that resulted in a five-year sanction from Table Tennis England (TTE) in March 2025. After appearing unrepresented before TTE’s Disciplinary Committee, Mr Knight sought legal assistance from Blake Morgan to appeal the findings against him.
Following an extensive review of the Committee's findings over eight months, the independent Appeals Panel ultimately cleared Mr Knight of the match fixing charge. The Panel noted that the Committee's findings were “sparse” and insufficient to substantiate any claim of his involvement in match fixing. Consequently, the Panel decisively overturned the charge against Mr Knight.
Additionally, while the Appeals Panel reduced the sanction for a related charge of sharing inside information for betting purposes from five years to three years, Mr Knight chose not to contest other charges related to betting on table tennis or failing to assist TTE's investigation. As a result of the favorable appeals, the portion of investigation costs Mr Knight was required to pay was also reduced by 25 per cent.
