Ronnie O’Sullivan described his issues with drugs when he was younger as “horrendous” when opening up about his addiction on Eurosport’s The Breakdown podcast. O’Sullivan went through a period, after he had won the UK Championship in 1993 to become the youngest ever ranking event winner at 18 years old, where both of his parents were in jail. Ad His father went to prison in 1992, then his mother in 1996, which led to a difficult spell for O’Sullivan during his 20s, which he explained to Eurosport's Greg Rutherford and Orla Chennaoui.
