Did D’Arcy Deserved to be Dumped Again?
April 8, 2009
If you are in Australia you no doubt heard the news about the swimmer Nick D’Arcy and his omission from the Australian swimming team for the upcoming World Championships.
Here is an excerpt from a story in the SMH.
“He was notified yesterday the Swimming Australia board was revoking his position on the team, under a “team by-law” which in part states it may: “terminate a team member’s membership of a team if the team member is convicted of a criminal offence”.
D’Arcy coach has come out and said he expects D’Arcy will quit the sport. Also today Nick D’Arcy father was quite vocal about the decision. He said his son knows what he did was wrong and he has completely changed from that fateful night.
What do you think about the decision by Swimming Australia to revoke his position on the team? I have to say I think he has been punished enough and deserves a chance to get on with life.
