British Darts Organisation threaten King with legal action

Mervyn King was today threatened with legal action by the British Darts Organisation, after confirming he is switching to play on the rival Professional Darts Corporation circuit.

The former World Masters champion is following three top Dutch players belonging to the same management company – Michael van Gerwen, Jelle Klaasen and Vincent van der Voort – who also contested this year’s Lakeside World Championship, before crossing the sport’s bitter divide.
