The source is The Scum, so god knows how reliable (ie made up) all of it is.

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Bad enough acting like a lout without getting your tadger out and exposing yourself to the plane never mind urinate.

Filthy disgusting horrible man.

Would love to see the courts hammer him.

If all the account is true then hammered he should be and bloody rightly so. Will make playing in any majors stateside difficult with a conviction, doubt they'd even allow him entry. Absolute career suicide if he gets a conviction.

Unfortunately I'm not sure that's strictly true. He'd pretty much pass the relevant 2019 esta questions:

1. Have you ever been arrested or convicted for a crime that resulted in serious damage to property, or serious harm to another person or government authority?
2. Have you ever violated any law related to possessing, using, or distributing illegal drugs?
3. Do you seek to engage in or have you ever engaged in terrorist activities, espionage, sabotage, or genocide?
4. Have you ever committed fraud or misrepresented yourself or others to obtain, or assist others to obtain, a visa or entry into the United States?

I'm pretty sure he'd be safe saying 'no' to all of those. No doubt some on here will argue otherwise though if the sexual assault sticks.
Also as a 'famous' sportsman I doubt he'd be seen as much of a risk, plus he'd have good representation if he was asked to go to the American Embassy for a full visa.

 

[Blue in Munich]

Be interesting to see what happens with his endorsement contracts if the reports turn out to be correct. Might be a bigger hammer than any court could impose.

 

[Hitdaball]

Looks like he went full Sergio.

 

[clubchamp98]

Well if allegations stop you doing your job in the USA Trump would never get back in the country when he travels abroad.
We can condem him if and when proved until then???

You may well be right but have to also remember things like the Masters being an invitational event if the sex allegation sticks they're not the sort to allow a potentially convicted man through their gates. Whatever the outcome if the allegations all prove to be true its going to largely damage his career from a sponsor point of view and could limit invites to some events.

And deservedly so!

Yes I agre here ,but would the Masters not invite someone who has qualified .( if he does)
I know it’s an invitation but would he have a legal case if he serves his sentence,as it would be costly to his career , fed ex etc.
This is just another reason the Majors should not be invitations.

Interesting points. Can't 100% say for certain whether they would extend or remove the invite until whatever happens to him happens. However with the Masters players hit the qualifying criteria in order to be offered the invite, I wouldn't have thought that it guarantees anything and would still be at their discretion as its their invitational tournament run by them seperate to any tours. He could try to take them to court and I maybe wrong here but I don't see him winning a case against them as they set the criteria for entry and they send the invites, they could argue if he is convicted that they feel it in the interests of their members, patrons and workers a person of convicted of sex offence isn't safe or appropriate to have around.

Obviously all pure conjecture without proof or any charges as yet. Nobody can say for certain until its all come to pass but I wouldn't be surprised if they took that stance. Especially as the add on would be he takes them to court as it costly to his career, the argument could be made it was his actions that cost him.

Yes I can see your argument!
But what about an invite to a former champion that has admitted damaging greens and tees.

If Olsen serves his sentence if convicted ,he has paid his dept to society ????
Not sure if Tiger was convicted of drug driving ( quite dangerous to others) bet he gets invited.

Just playing devils advocate, but if it’s true he deserves all he gets, but innocent until proven guilty and nobody should be punished before conviction.

Agree with everything you say, that's why I said all conjecture without proof or charges. We don't know the full extent of what's happened and the report itself is a little contradictory in that it's says he made a pass at a woman, then later says assaulted that's a big leap between the 2. With Sergio I think he should have been sanctioned by the tours but that's a seperate issue and compared to potential sexual assualt a mere misdemeanour, as for Tiger they may make the argument the only person he hurt was himself etc. We don't kniw what will happen we can merely speculate

 

[tugglesf239]

What a legend

 

[HomerJSimpson]

What a way to effectively pan your career. Can't see too many sponsors in the future rushing to sign him up and wonder how long his current ones will stick around. I would guess until the court case and bin him if found guilty. I would be surprised if Augusta offered him an invite (does he meet qualifying criteria anyway??)

 

[backwoodsman]

If true, it would be appalling behaviour and he'd deserve everything he gets for it.

But.. the piece has an awful lot of quotation marks in it, meaning much can't be relied upon as fact. I think I'll reserve judgement until the full story comes out.

 

[Tiger man]

What a legend

LADZ, LADS, LADS!

 

[howbow88]

Forgetting any potential conviction, there is a fair chance that BA will ban him if what has been reported is true. The airline I work for has banned people for far less.

From a practicality point of view, this will be a massive pain for him.

 

[Jacko_G]

He's to appear in court at a later date.

USPGA have also issued a statement and they're not impressed with the behaviour and negative press since he was returning from one of their tournaments. This could run a bit yet.

It also says the sexual assault was molesting another passenger.

[Blue in Munich]

Now on BBC that he has been charged with common assault, sexual assault and being drunk on a plane. Can't appear to add the link from the iPad.
