Scandal at the Ally Pally
Dom Taylor doping case shakes up World Darts Championship!
A bombshell at the current Darts World Championship at the Ally Pally in London: Englishman Dom Taylor has tested positive for doping! It is not known which substance was the 27-year-old's undoing ...
And in fact it doesn't matter what Taylor may have ingested illegally - he can forget about his second round duel with Jonny Clayton planned for tomorrow. The Welshman can look forward to a walk-through, which will take him into the 3rd round without a fight.
"Eliminated with immediate effect!"
Because "in accordance with the current guidelines of the Darts Regulation Authority (DRA), Dom Taylor has been banned from participating in all DRA-regulated events with immediate effect," it said in a press release. In addition, disciplinary proceedings will be initiated against Taylor in accordance with the DRA's anti-doping regulations. The prize money he had earned for reaching the 2nd round will also remain frozen for the time being ...
Englishwoman Greaves is the last woman out at the World Championships
Beau Greaves is the last woman to be eliminated in the first round of the World Darts Championship in London. The 21-year-old Englishwoman lost 2:3 to Northern Ireland's Daryl Gurney on Friday, after Lisa Ashton, Gemma Hayter, Noa-Lynn van Leuven and Fallon Sherrock had already been eliminated. Greaves is regarded as the best player in the world.
She also put up a huge challenge to the world number 22 Gurney. In the second set, she managed to win a leg with just ten throws. But in the end, Gurney had the luckier end on his side. "I think she's the best player on the planet," said the 39-year-old, who took a deep breath after the deciding throw and then gave Greaves an encouraging hug.
