Just seen this in a press release from the EPBF (my highlighting in bold)... "EPBF Press Release In the wheelchair division, Jouni Tahti (FIN) once more was the guy to beat. He eliminated Henrik Lasrsson (SWE) with 5:2 in the final match. This is the 35th medal for Tahti on European level and his 23rd title. What a domination from Tahti. Unfortunately, the day also saw some downside. The wheelchair division produced one of the biggest upsets of the tournament so far. The athlete Kurt Deklerck (BEL) was given the black card and therefore disqualified from the whole European Championships and stripped from all his results. Deklerck was judged guilty for cheating in his matches in adding a greasy substance onto the cue ball during his match, manipulating the angles of the game. For that reason, there is only one Bronze Medal awarded in the wheelchair division today.Top 3 Wheelchair 1. Tahti, Jouni FIN 2. Larsson, Henrik SWE 3. Brajkovic, Matej SLO" -----------------  Authorised Pro9 forum advertiser/sponsor [ This message was edited by: BigDave on 2018-07-27 11:49 ]

No place for it in our sport. Sad that such a quality player felt he had to do this.

He wants to win whatever way he can. He's well known for pulling "moves", but nothing like this

Some time ago I watched how baseball players cheat putting some tar on a ball or sand the ball down. Mr Deklerck, did you watch same video? LOL. Looks like it ;)
