Darts in new ‘farting’ storm: Two-time World Championship quarter-finalist Darren Webster accuses Dutch ‘k**b end’ rival of ‘stinking the stage out’… and it’s not the sport’s first ‘fart-gate’!

Darts star Darren Webster accused his opponent of farting during their MODUS Super Series match on Thursday evening in an unbelievable social media tirade.

Webster, 55, a former two-time World Cup quarter-finalist, took on Dutchman Ron Meulenkamp in a best-of-seven legs match and took a 3-0 lead but was pegged back by his rival and ultimately lost four games. -3.

After Meulenkamp posted double 16 for the win, Webster was visibly irate and refused to shake hands while exchanging words with his opponent.

Meulenkamp seemed bewildered by the situation and responded by shrugging his shoulders, before Webster took to social media to explain what exactly he was so unhappy about.

‘Well, when you play a man who farts and stinks, off stage and denies it, and then kicks you when you (sic) play the stall on every throw, because they’re good luck for the future, but I’m not interested in rants,” he posted on Facebook.

When someone responded by hitting out at Meulenkamp’s perceived slow retrieval of his darts from the board throughout the match, Webster added, “He was downright.”

Webster’s defeat ended a disappointing day for the Englishman as he lost three of his four matches on the opening night of the Super Series.

He is bottom of Group B, while Meulenkamp is second in the five-man table after winning three of his four matches.

Meulenkamp joined the PDC in 2014, but never got further than the last 64 of the World Cup.

This isn’t the first time a player has been accused of farting on stage, as two-time world champion Gary Anderson defended himself against the same accusation after facing Wesley Harms at the Grand Slam of Darts in November 2018.

Harms claimed there was a ‘fragrant smell’ during his match against the Scot as he suffered a 10-2 defeat after a sub-par performance.

When it was put to him in his post-match interview that Harms felt like he farted to scare him, Anderson responded, “If the kid thinks I farted, he’s 1010 percent wrong.” I swear on my children’s lives that it wasn’t my fault.

‘Usually when I fart on stage, I do it myself. If I farted and it smelled like that, I would put my hands up and say, “Sorry, I have to get out.”

‘Every time I walked past there was a cloud of rotten eggs, so that’s why I thought it was him.

‘It was bad. It was a stink, then he started playing better and I thought he needed some air.

‘If someone has done that, they need to see a doctor. It looks like he’s saying it was me, but I’d admit it.”
