Thrombus threatened the player's life in darts: why he had to leave the tour.

Clark's Forced Break

MATT CLARK has reported that he had to 'rest or die'. The 57-year-old darter from Dartford left the World Seniors Tour because doctors warned him of a serious life-threatening condition if he continued his regular schedule.

Clark said: 'Halfway through the World Seniors Tour, I developed a thrombus that was life-threatening in a rather unpleasant state...'

This situation has been a tough trial for Clark, who has been competing on the international stage for many years. Now he must find time to recover and receive the necessary treatment before returning to competition. This case once again highlights the importance of health, even in the world of sports where competition is extremely fierce.
