I read this guy’s Wikipedia page and it reads like every athlete in any sport that had a quick rise and then sudden demise.
This just happened to be in the dart world.
Richie Burnett won major championships in 1994 and 1995, but since then his career has been a bunch of hits and misses, with a bunch of financial and personal issues mixed in.
After hitting rock bottom around 2006, he makes a comeback in 2011 that last for a couple of years until his crashes again and this happens.
A former world darts champion has been banned for 18 months after testing positive for cocaine.
UK Anti-Doping says Richie Burnett, a Welshman who won the world championship in 1995, tested positive in an in-competition test in November 2014.
Burnett is suspended until May 2, 2016.
Who knew darts were just like every other sport?
