Ex-World Champion Gerwyn Price (37) has denounced fan developments in the darts. At the Premier League matchday in Rotterdam on Thursday, it had come to incidents.

"The best player does not always win. Sport is ruined. Well done," Price wrote to his defeat against Landsmann Jonny Clayton in his Instagram story. A little later, he explained, "I did not talk about my own game or last night, but generally. The best player does not always win because the sport of non-Darts fans is influenced and dictated."

The Englishman Michael Smith was repeatedly irritated in Rotterdam at his match against local matadores Michael van Gerwen. With his matchdarts at the stand of 5: 3, there were whistles, and an object flew to the stage. Ultimately, Smith lost 5: 6. "If you focus on one hundred percent on the Dartsplice, you do not hear what you call. If you only focus on your business, you will win the game," said opponent Van Gerwen Lapidar.

Most recently there were similar incidents at tournaments in the German giant and Hildesheim. Then Kim Huybrechts and World Champion Peter Wright even complained about the hall microph1. Also the very extroverted Welsh Price has often been victims of fan denigrations.
