D’Arcy contact ban lifted
June 8, 2008
Nick D’Arcy who had been dumped from the Australian Olympic swim team by John Coates had also been told to keep his distance from a handful of Australian swim team members. This came about in relation to the court case dealing with the alleged assault that D’Arcy was charged with in March this year.
This ban has now been lifted after a magistrate altered his bail conditions yesterday. D’Arcy’s status with the Olympic team is still up in the air. The full board of the AOC will meet next Wednesday to hear D’Arcy’s side of the story. It is then up to the full board to decide his fate.
Recently the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled that John Coates as President of the AOC did not have the authorization to boot D’Arcy from the team.
D’Arcy will appear in court again on June 17 where he will be fighting the assault charge. He has said that he is innocent and was acting in self defence.
