Gerwyn Price fined over controversies
Gerwyn Price has been fined £21,500 and given a three-month suspended ban by the Darts Regulation Authority after a series of controversial incidents at the Grand Slam of Darts in Wolverhampton last year.
The Welshman – who won the tournament – clashed with Simon Whitlock during the quarter-finals and then again with Gary Anderson in the final over what was deemed to be slow play and over-zealous celebrating.
The DRA said Price’s behaviour ‘drew an unprecedented number of complaints’. Price was fined £8,000 for his incident with Whitlock, £12,000 for clashing with Anderson and a further £1,500 for comments made on social media.
