Thorbjorn Olesen - Arrested

Whilst you would like to think that if he has been charged there is substantial evidence of wrongdoing, until that is proven he remains an innocent man. If it transpires that he is not guilty, where do the ET stand re potential loss of earnings?

They will use the "bringing the Tour into disrepute" line which will cover a multitude of sins. I'm sure they will have done their own legal homework prior to making this decision.

Surely they can’t have seen the evidence before a trial, so they are going on hearsay and opinions.
So much for innocent until proven guilty.
He will get what’s coming to him ,but at the moment it’s still an allegation.

Regardless of all that bringing the Tour into disrepute will be a catch all to cover a multitude of sins.

They won't have done anything that they feel they're not entitled to do. I'd be shocked if they haven't had legal consultation prior to arriving at that decision.

No dought .
This is one of my pet hates about the modern world.
An allegation is now seen as gospel by employers , press.etc . No smoke without fire.
It’s getting to the stage where nobody can get a fair trial because it’s been on social media for everyone to discuss ( irony button)
Look what happened to Cliff Richard.
If true he deserves all he gets , but what if he’s found innocent and misses the Ryder cup by a point.

Then he should have conducted himself in a more appropriate manner.

Police clearly have enough "evidence" to submit a report.
 
Good move by the ET tour to ban him pending the outcome on the 21st. Police and magistrates clearly think there's a case to be answered so without knowing the full in and outs it's not looking good for him

I completely disagree he’s been banned from his job before being found guilty!
IF he is found guilty that’s when he should be punished.

I don't think they've banned him. I read he was suspended pending an investigation
Has this case been before a magistrate yet (even provisionally)?

But if that was someone working a normal job they'd still get paid, but for him it means he can't enter tournaments so he can't earn anything. So in essence the same as being 'banned'.

I don't know but I'd hazard a guess there's an important distinction between the two terms for the ET & its members (not that it compels a forum user to use the correct term instead of making up their own, but why not just use the correct one?)
 
There's probably a clause in the conditions of membership of the Tour that you have to keep your nose clean
And he's still being paid by sponsors....for now.
 
So the charges are, sexual assault, common assault and being drunk on an aircraft.

How to throw away a career. Utter madness.
