SPL to face another overhaul
SPL chairmen met with Scottish League officials yesterday to discuss yet more changes to the league structure. While the so-called Big Two are said to be in favour of the status quo, a majority of chairmen wish to abandon the current top-six-bottom-six mid-season split in favour of a three part split based on aggregate results (home and away) up to December.

The top five clubs would be joined by the winner of a mid season play-off between sixth and seventh placed clubs. The remaining clubs compete for a new as yet unnamed trophy, the winner of which would be guaranteed a UEFA Cup place and the runner-up a second play-off place. Relegation and promotion will remain as a one-up one-down. The proposals are seen as a welcome change of focus for beleagured SPL officials, still reeling after the Falkirk debacle.

Darts world rocked by drugs row
British Matchplay officials reacted angrily to comments by former darts supremo Len Harris that the sport has "a serious drugs problem." Harris, who lost his seat as UK Matchplay Championship Convener in the so called "night of the long arrows" in 2001, had claimed in a Sunday newspaper that the sport was rife with drugs both recreational and performance-enhancing.

Gavin Roy, Convener of Championship UK Matchplay said "I can think of no drug which would enhance a player's skill at darts. Cocaine would make you throw them too hard and cannabis would make you lose interest and go put something on the jukebox."
