Ronnie O’Sullivan says snooker stars are being treated like “lab rats” at this year’s World Snooker Championship and claims anyone unconcerned by the decision to allow some spectators into the event must have a “death wish”.

Five-time champion O’Sullivan expressed support for fellow player Anthony Hamilton, who suffers from asthma and said he fears for his health at the Crucible, which is currently one of three events piloting the safe return of fans in the coronavirus pandemic.
