John Duthie no longer part of Team PokerStars

I've heard from a source close to John Duthie, one of the main people behind the creation of the European Poker Tour, that he is no longer part of Team PokerStars.

More information as it becomes available?

Does this mean now that the EPT will not be affiliated with Pokerstars?

He sold the EPT to Pokerstars a couple of years ago!

Re: John Duthie no longer part of Team PokerStars

Is this because he's unhappy with the new way Stars is now distributing its VPPS?

He's still the CEO of the EPT, no?

and to add to the original post: he's already deleted from the team overviews on the site

kinda sucks, he was a likeable character
