A DARTS star has been suspended after failing a drugs test on the eve of the Players Championship Finals.
Dom Taylor was scheduled to take on former world champion Michael Smith but will not be taking part in the tournament.
He took a drugs test for the tournament and it returned a positive sample for a banned substance.
Taylor will be replaced by Nick Kenny, who faces Smith later this evening.
A PDC statement read: “The Darts Regulation Authority has suspended Dominic Taylor following the failure of a drugs test.
“Taylor was tested at a recent Players Championship event and returned a positive sample for a banned substance.
“The Chairman of the DRA has confirmed that Taylor is suspended with immediate effect and will face a disciplinary hearing on a date to be confirmed.
“As a result, Taylor has been withdrawn from the Players Championship Finals and will be replaced in the draw by Nick Kenny, who will now play Michael Smith on Friday evening.”
