Ghostwalker 1,859 Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) Darcy's Swedish team Dackarna have fined Darcy with a 6-figure sum* for breaching his contract in which there is a zero-tolerance clause for drugs and doping, which means that if a rider is caught using drugs and doping substances he will be fined by the team. * In Swedish money which means that the fines are at least £10'000. http://www.expressen...-drogskandalen/ Edited March 8, 2013 by Ghostwalker 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The White Knight 9,039 Posted March 8, 2013 I wonder if there will be any action from British Speedway (Poole). Drugs are certainly not part of the image that Speedway (I hope) wish to portray. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The White Knight 9,039 Posted March 8, 2013 Im very sure that both Matt and Neil will have said their bit, and will not tolerate such behaviour. Aaaahhh - but will they actually DO anything. I could listen to hard words - but - I couldn't pay Ten Grand. I am NOT anti Poole Starman - but - I value our Sports reputation - this incident certainly does not help in that department.. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lioness 1,455 Posted March 8, 2013 it sounds from the Swedish press release as if it is written into his contract the zero tolerance stance and subsequent recriminations. I doubt if that is written into his Poole contract and therefore they would, like it or not, be on very sticky ground if they did Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Humphrey Appleby 13,960 Posted March 8, 2013 Darcy's Swedish team Dackarna have fined Darcy with a 6-figure sum* for breaching his contract in which there is a zero-tolerance clause for drugs and doping, which means that if a rider is caught using drugs and doping substances he will be fined by the team. * In Swedish money which means that the fines are at least £10'000. As much as a prat as he's been, this didn't happen during the Swedish speedway season so it should be none of their business. The matter was taken care of by the Australian authorities and there it should rest. In all honesty, I really wonder whether such clauses would actually stand up under Swedish law, because I don't think they would under certain under European legal systems.

Ghostwalker 1,859 Posted March 9, 2013 Of course its their business, he is one of their riders. Regarding the legal matter, well FIM have a very similar clause in their licensing application so doubt that it would be illegal to have such a term in the contract. The official statement from the team also said that Dackarna have contacted Poole and Torun to try to make an effort together, both for Darcy's sake but also show that they fully deprecate themselves from the use of drugs and doping substances. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The matter was taken care of by the Australian authorities and there it should rest. Depends on the details of the contract. Sentiment doesn't override a legal document. Image rights may be part of the agreement between the two parties. Also, in Sweden they may not take as tolerant a view towards drugs as we do. So who are we to judge.
