SWIMMER Nick D'Arcy, who was expelled from the Australian team for the Beijing Olympics for assaulting a teammate, was given the all clear to compete for selection for this year's London Games yesterday.
The 24-year-old D'Arcy attacked Commonwealth Games champion Simon Cowley in a Sydney bar in March 2008 causing injuries including a broken jaw, broken nose and broken eye socket. He received a 14-month suspended jail sentence in 2009
When Cowley was awarded A$180,000 (US$194,000) in compensation by a civil court last year, however, D'Arcy filed for bankruptcy leading to an outcry and doubts about whether the Australian Olympic Committee would endorse his nomination.
