Oh dear oh dear.
My
assumption on this is:
He already has his visa, based on the facts as they were when he applied because he's due to travel shortly.
Given that, according to the report, this only happened last week, it counts as a change of circumstances which he MUST declare (or risk refusal of entry, removal on arrival and a future ban from the UK) under para 320 (7A) (a material fact related to the visa situation) and 320 (icon_cool.gif (failure to furnish information required to decide if he qualifies for entry on arrival). Or 321 (ii) (change of circumstances removing basis for entry). Or 321(A)(1) (such a change of circumstances as to mean the visa should be cancelled).
The fact that the case has aggravating factors (twice the limit, failing to stop) and the sentence ($950 fine plus costs and a 7 month driving ban) really doesn't help either.
If, however, he doesn't have the visa, the chances of getting it have been reduced significantly. Again he needs to declare what's happened.
This is not a good situation for him or the club to be in. At all.
Hopefully they are taking full advice on what they and he should do, and notifying anyone who needs to be notified.
Problem is, if they tell, it risks refusal. If they don't it risks refusal.
Potentially way, way worse than Crocker IMO.
