| GETTYWhile doctors still haven't pinpointed what's causing his symptoms, the positive test results will certainly ease some worry as he prepares for one of the biggest matches of the year against the reigning world champion.

"My focus is there, it's just health-wise I am not in a great place at the moment," he admitted at the time. "But I am battling on and searching for some results."
He spoke of "frustrating times" and expressed hope that answers would come soon so he could "enjoy darts again."
