“The Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) is pleased to note Swimming Australia Limited’s (SAL) response that they have now considered the matter of their endorsement of Nick D’Arcy’s membership of the Shadow Team.

SAL has also confirmed that it has responded directly to Simon Cowley.

SAL has clearly considered Nick D’Arcy’s bankruptcy and advised the AOC they have not changed their endorsement of Nick D’Arcy’s Shadow Team membership.

The AOC Selection Committee decided to be guided by SAL’s response on this matter and determined that Nick D’Arcy will retain his membership of the Shadow Team.  Accordingly, he is eligible for selection to the Australian Olympic Team should he qualify and be nominated by SAL.”

Should Nick D’Arcy be selected, he will be subject to the ongoing obligations of an Olympic Team member as encapsulated in the Team Agreement.”
