The Dark Side of Darts: A Reflection of a Sport in Crisis The latest case list from the Darts Regulation Authority (DRA) reveals that even the most revered darts stars can fall victim to their own demons.
Raymond van Barneveld, a five time world champion and one of the greatest players of all time, has been fined and suspended for "inappropriate behaviour and using offensive language" at a Players Championship event in Wigan last year.
The incident is not an isolated case; van Barneveld also faces a formal warning for failing to report damage caused to a hotel room following another Players Championship event in Germany.
