Mervyn King was today threatened with legal action by the British Darts Organisation, after confirming he is switching to play on the rival Professional Darts Corporation circuit.
The former World Masters champion is following three top Dutch darts players belonging to the same management company - Michael van Gerwen, Jelle Klaasen and Vincent van der Voort - who also contested this year's Lakeside World Championship, before crossing the sport's bitter divide.
But apparently the 40-year-old is bound to the BDO under the terms of a contract he signed, stating that any player who reached the semi-finals at the Lakeside this year would return to contest the event in 2008. King was beaten in the last four by eventual champion Martin Adams.
Both players could now be the subject of legal action by the BDO.
