Olympic swimmer Nick D'Arcy, 21, had pleaded guilty to a charge of recklessly inflicting
grievous bodily harm on SimonCowley in a nightclub brawl last year and was sentenced in
a Sydney court today.
Prosecutors had asked the court to jail D'Arcy but his lawyers pleaded for a non-custodial
sentence, arguing that D'Arcyhad already suffered enough by being excluded from the
2008 Beijing Olympics. The judge in charge of the case agreedand handed D'Arcy a
suspended sentence of 14 months and 12 days, telling the court he had "very good
prospects ofrehabilitation."
Magistrate John Favretto said: "There is nothing to suggest that he present a continuing
danger to the community.” (1) Favretto accepted that D'Arcy had been provoked by Cowley
but said his response was excessive and intended to causeharm. He placed D'Arcy on a
good behaviour bond and ordered him to undergo an unique counselling for alcohol, stress
andanger management (2). Favretto said: "While there was only one punch, it must have
been with considerable force given the extent of the injury.Simon Cowley must’ve been
hurted badly." (3) Outside the court, D'Arcy told reporters he regretted his actions and
hoped Cowley would eventually forgive him. He said:"It was a terrible situation, which I
have apologised for, and I deeply regret and I do hope one day he will can forgive
me."(4)The decision means D'Arcy may be free to represent Australia at this year's World
Championships in Rome after hequalified by winning the 200 metres butterfly at this
month's national trials.
“To hurt a fellow sportsperson is the biggest mistake I have ever made,” (5) D’Arcy was
quoted in the press conference, “Imust strive to be a better person, and I will not repeat
such vile behavior.”
