SPORTS IN ICELAND VOLCANO DESTRUPTION Sports teams were also affected, including French rugby league teams competing in the Challenge Cup and the British team participating in the ice hockey World Championships in Slovenia, who changed their plans from air to bus and train.[24] The situation is uncertain as the duration of the plume cannot be predicted; events are being postponed or cancelled.
Tennis player Andy Murray has tweeted: "Volcano news... we're all in a van driving to Barcelona for training".
Golfer Rory McIlroy was photographed boarding a ferry from Ireland to Stranraer.
Formula One has seen cases of disruption. With all of the current teams operating out of Europe (McLaren, Renault F1, Mercedes GP, Force India, Red Bull Racing, Lotus Racing and Virgin Racing in the United Kingdom alone) many are concerned about whether they can get from the 2010 Chinese Grand Prix to their bases and onward to the 2010 Spanish Grand Prix with the inability to presently fly. It is estimated that the journey would take several weeks over land and even longer by ship. One commentator suggested that the teams could fly into Spain and continue on land from there. Some members of the media — such as Eddie Jordan — have been unable to fly out because their flight was booked for a time under the restrictions.
Other BBC sports personnel effected include Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker (holidaying in Tenerife, he booked a flight to Madrid on 16 April, hired a car at the airport, drove through the night to Paris, caught the Eurostar to London and wasn't due to arrive until 5:30 pm, a mere few hours before he is due on TV), Clare Balding (she drove from Switzerland to present a Challenge Cup rugby league game between Hull and Leeds) and football commentator Jonathan Pearce (he drove from France to be in England for the football on 17 April).
Many of the teams at the 2010 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship and 2010 World Senior Curling Championships are being delayed.
Several cyclists who reside in Spain were unable to make it to the 2010 Amstel Gold Race, including favorites Alejandro Valverde and Luis León Sánchez.
WWE were on their annual European Tour when the eruption took place. The result was WWE cancelling their SmackDown shows in Austria and Istanbul

STORMGATE On April 22, the Melbourne Storm admitted to the NRL that their club had systematically deceived the salary cap conditions for the last five seasons. This included a breach of $400,000 in the 2009 season and a projected breach of $700,000 in the 2010 season. The Storm admitted that a dual contract system was run within the club, in which the NRL were not able to know of payments made to the players outside of the $4.2 million yearly cap.
As a result, the NRL stripped the Storm of both their 2007 and 2009 premierships (which are currently not expected to be awarded to Manly and Parramatta, their opponents from the two respective grand finals), as well as their minor premierships from 2006, 2007 and 2008. The NRL also demanded that the Storm repay AUD $1.1 million in prizemoney (which would be distributed amongst the other 15 NRL clubs), as well as a $500,000 fine. They were stripped of all competition points accrued in the 2010 season to date and all competition points earned throughout the remainder of the 2010 season would result in zero points on the competition table.
The Storm accepted this decision without question and are expected to meet the task of trimming $700,000 worth of wages to meet the salary cap by the end of the season.
Former CEO Brian Waldron, current chief executive and ex-financial officer, Matt Hanson and current financial officer Paul Gregory are alleged to have been the main culprits behind the incident. Ex financial control officer Cameron Vale, who is now with AFL's North Melbourne Football Club, was said to have been the whistleblower on the situation, but has denied the allegations against him.
On April 23, Brian Waldron was asked by the Melbourne Rebels rugby union club to stand down from his position of chief executive of the club after just six weeks of taking over the expansion team entering the new Super 15 competition. The AFL will investigate St Kilda Football Club's players' contracts during Waldron's three-year reign of the club alongside now ex Storm CEO Matt Hanson.
The news was referred to by The Age newspaper as "the biggest scandal in Australian sports history".
Club supporters had mixed reactions and feelings towards the situation as the club was left with "dishonour and shame". In 102 years of professional rugby league in Australia, no club has ever been stripped of a competition title. Many fans dumped their guernseys and other memorabilia at the team's Carlton headquarters upon hearing about the incident and many others simply broke into tears, but feeling that ex CEO Brian Waldron was to blame and not the players.
The Deputy Prime Minister Julia Gillard who is the club's number one female ticket holder, said that supporters would be shocked and saddened, but she hoped they would stand by the club as it rebuilt. The Storm chairman Dr Rob Moodie apologised to the fans, many of whom publically stripped themselves of their Storm colours and dumped in disgust.
"We are devastated. This is the lowest day for our club. We have betrayed the trust of the Australian people. We haven't played by the rules." —Dr Rob Moodie, The Courier Mail
Betting agencies copped an 'old fashioned betting sting' as some punters found out the salary cap allegations before they came to common knowledge. The Storm were at $4.20 favourites to win the title at the time and $251 on winning the wooden spoon. TAB Sportsbet has claimed it will be due to pay out at least AUD $500,000 before betting was suspended.
