Snooker chief blasts O’Sullivan’s ‘unacceptable’ comments in China

WORLD Snooker chairman Rodney Walker has branded Ronnie O’Sullivan’s lewd comments at the China Open this week “unacceptable”.

Walker, who confirmed the governing body’s disciplinary committee are investigating the incident, expressed his apologies to tournament officials and members of the public after the latest in a series of controversies caused by the mercurial potter.

World Snooker are reviewing a video in which the two-time world champion made sexual innuendoes and suggestive comments in front of the assembled media in Beijing.
