The Wagering War Editor Is Unhappy About Carruthers Sacking By Betonsports and he has a strong arguement.
Carruthers Sacking A Liberty?Betonsports said - "Clearly, while he remains in the custody of the U.S. government, he is unable to perform his duties," BetOnSports said. "Further, the company has been unable to speak directly with Mr Carruthers."
Wagering War Says - "Right. So if he had been kidnapped by terrorists while on his annual vacation, the ransom note would have been returned to sender with a P45 attached?"
A source close to the company admitted that it "didn't look good" that it had severed all ties with Mr Carruthers, reports The Daily Telegraph. "It wasn't an easy thing to do. But David was the only link the company had left to [its controversial founder] Garry Kaplan. We have to move forward.
True, but at such speed? Rightly or wrongly, BetOnSports bears a marked resemblance to the proverbial can of worms right now and damage limitation will be at a premium but as a leading employment lawyer - quoted in another Telegraph report - points out, "There is the concept of innocent until proven guilty, which pertains to employment law as much as any other area of law. The fact that he has been sacked after being merely arrested rather than being convicted is very unusual."
Gamblog Comment :: I agree. At face value, David Carruthers sacking by his employer, for being arrested for doing his job, politely put - is a liberty.
Personally, I think it is face-paint, purposely applied liberally, in cahoots with the arrested David Carruthers. Probably Carruthers idea.
