Is this a credible Newspaper?

SNOOKER bad boy Quinten Hann has been caught by The Sun agreeing to throw matches for money.
Aussie Hann, 27, secretly sealed a £50,000 “deal” to deliberately lose at the China Open so an illegal betting group could cash in.
HANN vowed to resume his snooker career yesterday after he was cleared of groping and beating up two women he met at a nightclub.
The cue ace was said to have lunged at the pair — an 18-year-old dancer and a singer aged 32 — “like a wild animal” and attacked them after they spurned his sexual advances.
But Hann insisted he was only trying to retrieve stolen keys.
Jurors at Isleworth Crown Court found him not guilty of sexual assault, ABH and common assault at his London flat.
Hann hugged pals in the public gallery as he left court.
He said in a statement: “The accusers’ lack of credibility has clearly been exposed.
“I now wish to have the opportunity to return to my life as a professional snooker player.”
Three years ago, Hann was acquitted of raping a student at London’s Savoy Hotel.
Jurors were told she had willingly frolicked with the star.
Hann has said groupies often pursue him, claiming one stripped naked on a snooker table pleading for sex.
He has also boasted of having sex with a blonde aboard a Jumbo jet.
