Britain's Robbie Green has become the first darts player to test positive for a banned substance after a doping control found traces of marijuana in his system.
32-year-old Green, nicknamed 'Kong', tested positive for the recreational drug after giving a sample at the UK Open in Bolton in June.
He has been suspended for eight weeks and two days by the Darts Regulation Authority.

In-form Monnaie darts opponents for big win
WILL Donald Monnaie dislodge James Morel as male player of the year? It remains to be seen. But what is certain is that the former Seychelles striker, who once scored a beauty of a goal with a bicycle kick against Mauritius at Stad Popiler, has been accumulating points since the start of the season.
MONNAIE ... second singles title win this year
A member of the Diffusers team, Monnaie’s recent triumph was in last Saturday’s first edition of the Shreeji Singles Tournament played at the Cascade community centre.
The 47-year-old, who is actually going through a purple patch, was once again in devastating form and threw the darts well to hit the big points to beat Paul Dugasse 4-0 in the best-of-seven 501 final to pocket R1,500.

Cut price parking, a free drink, free tea coffee and some soft drinks combined with excellent food and plenty of it.
All this plus luxurious surroundings and £350 sponsorship. I feel sorry for the players who stayed away.
Slight downside perhaps the cost of shorts. V.J. nearly had a heart attack when ordering his usual tipple, a double Bacardi and coke. He never recovered from the shock, lost his next game and was found wandering the streets of Bradford in the early hours muttering six pounds, six pounds.

No wonder why everyone thinks dart players are a bunch of drunks...
No wonder why everyone thinks dart players are a bunch of drunks...
"At a TV recording the other day I bumped into Sid Waddell, the darts commentator, who turned out to be an exceptionally nice bloke, with a dry wit you don't always associate with his chosen sport. I asked if it was true that darts players were permanently drunk, and he said that it was, literally, often the case that the only people at the match who weren't drunk were the commentators.
The players cannot do their job without several pints inside them. If they were stone cold sober, their hands would probably be shaking too much to throw. He mentioned one player who drank 23 bottles of Heineken before playing a match for £100,000, and another - very famous - player who began a match so drunk that when his opponent held out his hand in greeting he missed it altogether and fell flat on the floor.
Sid is generally described as 'excitable' for his commentaries on Sky Sports, and he certainly uses the language to vigorous effect. 'Jockey Wilson, ah what an athlete!' he once said. Or his admiring: 'That was like throwing three pickled onions into a thimble!' And 'it's like trying to pin down a kangaroo on a trampoline'. Or 'under that heart of stone beat muscles of pure flint' and, of a losing player, 'he looks about as happy as a penguin in a microwave'. My favourite is his description of a very close match: 'The atmosphere is so tense, if Elvis walked in with a portion of chips, you could hear the vinegar sizzle on them.' Well, you see what he means.

Is it a young mans sport?
Is it a young mans sport? why do I ask? I ask the question that many people are asking me and I prefer to reverse it back onto you the general playing and spectating participants of the sport.
Only a few years ago such a question would not have arisen, the average age of top class TV players was in the late 30's, i made a comment only a few months ago regarding the World Series of darts in america, the average age of the contestants was over 40.
So why all of a sudden is the question being asked, I am sure it is down to the success of Jelle klaasen who at 20 years of age won the 2005 BDO World Championship at Lakeside, then along came the new Dutch Wonder Kid: Michael Van Gerwen who rewrote the record books by becoming the youngest World Master winner at the age of 17, those two fine young players have now been joined by the youngest ever qualifier of the PDC World Champioship, Australian: Mitchell Clegg, who is just 16.

News & Star - Home comfort will be a boost for county darters
"CUMBRIA face a tough challenge next weekend against league leaders Somerset in the Kaliber Inter Counties Darts Championship.
Fortunately, the game is at our home venue of The Ukranian Club in Carlisle meaning the visitors have to travel the length of the country to get here.
Garry Simpson, Steve Armstrong and Mark Aspinall are not available for selection and I have heard that chairman Steve Bonnett has retired.

A League. A good win for El Balcon lifts them two places in the division. Jablers played host to last season’s champions but stay pointless after a heavy defeat by Santana A. Only the gaffer, Ron Gorman, stopped the whitewash. The Galleon stays 2nd after a close win over Rocajuna Bar. A good all round performance earned Los Amigos a comfortable win over La Bolera. Len Pitman hit a 180, 3 x 140’s and 16 and 17 dart games. Well done! An even more impressive match however was fought out between busters blues and Washington Bar. What, on paper, looked a comfortable win for the visitors was blessed with 4 x 180 ‘s and 7 x 140 ‘s. Both teams contributed to the high standard of darts on the night.
