Your support makes all the difference.SNOOKER'S governing body is to investigate how supposedly secret drugs testing results implicating Ronnie O'Sullivan were leaked.
O'Sullivan is alleged to have tested positive for cannabis during a tournament in Ireland six weeks ago, and the second part of the sample was examined in London yesterday. No result was announced but, if it proved to be positive, then the player could be heavily fined or banned from the game.
There is dismay within the sport that information about the first test became public knowledge. Rex Williams, the chairman of the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association, yesterday insisted: "This leak has not come from the WPBSA."
