Taylor ‘sincerely sorry’ after failed drugs test

After being denied entry to the PDC World Darts Championship due to a negative drug test, Dom Taylor says he is “sincerely sorry”.

The Darts Regulation Authority announced on Friday that Englishman Taylor, who defeated Oskar Lukasiak in the first round at Alexandra Palace, was subjected to “ongoing anti-doping procedures.”

Taylor apologized for “blatant lying” and promised to be “back to prove himself.”

The 27-year-old claimed that a number of personal traumas, including the death anniversary of his daughter, had had an impact on his mental health.

After failing a drug test the previous year, he was given a one-month suspension in January.

Taylor described the earlier suspension as “the biggest letdown of my life” and claimed that he had “rebounded back” after Lukasiak’s defeat.

Taylor wrote on Facebook that she needed to apologize for blatantly lying to everyone in my interview following my defeat of Oskar last week.

I completed and finished the course that I was required to complete at the end of last year and the beginning of this year, along with all other requirements and sanctions.

After proving that the substance was not performance-enhancing and was taken outside of competition, he was given a potential two-year ban and committed to finishing a three-month treatment program that had been approved by UK Anti-Doping.
