# Beaten finalist blames lost stamina
# Barneveld profits from £1 investment
Phil Taylor will never be slim, but the 13-times world champion has decided that a fitter body will mean a fitter mind after losing his title in a marathon tussle on Monday night to the younger and relatively more svelte Raymond van Barneveld.
Van Barneveld, 39, has become the most celebrated man in his native Netherlands after his dramatic victory over Taylor, coming back from three sets down to win on a sudden-death leg. The Dutchman has received messages of congratulation from the Prime Minister and Queen of the Netherlands as well as from the owner of a shop in The Hague where he bought a set of new darts for £1 three months ago.
Darts: Tubby or not tubby, that is the question for Taylor after defeat
