Ronnie O'Sullivan has been ordered to pay a total of £8,000 (€9,700) by snooker's governing body for comments he made on Twitter and to a referee.

The 38-year-old was fined £6,000 for three tweets. One tweet concerned match-fixing claims that he made in the wake of Stephen Lee's guilty verdict - and which he later retracted.

O'Sullivan also has to pay £1,000 in costs for the hearing and another £1,000 for verbally abusing a referee.
