DRA Suspend Duo

ANDY JENKINS and Jason Clark have been suspended by the Darts Regulation Authority.

Andy Jenkins has been banned for one year, with nine months suspended, following complaints over his conduct at the PartyPoker.net German Darts Championship in December.

His ban began on 15 February 2008 and he will be eligible to play from 14 May 2008, with his return expected to be the PDC US Open in Connecticut.

Should he be found guilty of any further offence by the DRA before 14 February 2009, the suspended sentence would be reconsidered by the DRA.

Jason Clark was also given a one-year ban, also with nine months suspended, and a £500 fine following his conduct at the PDC Annual Awards Dinner in London in January.

Clark's ban has been backdated to 10 January 2008, meaning he is eligible to play from 10 April 2008.

His suspended sentence will be reviewed by the DRA every three months until 10 January 2009.

The DRA also fined Jim Leighton £30 for failure to mark at a PDC ranked tournament.

In addition, the meeting of the DRA Disciplinary Committee saw the lifting of a ban from entering PDC ranked tournaments placed on American player Dayton Strawbridge during 2007.
