Jenkins given 11-year ban over match fixing charges
April 30 (Reuters) - Briton Andy Jenkins received an 11-year suspension from darts after he was found guilty of charges relating to match fixing and gambling, the Darts Regulation Authority said on Wednesday.
Jenkins, who denied the charges, was found guilty of all 24 charges of match fixing against him, and he also accepted one charge of betting on darts for which he was given a suspension of 12 months which will be concurrent with the 11-year ban.
The 54-year-old, who reached the 2007 World Championship semi-finals, has also been ordered to pay costs of 17,580.03 pounds ($23,441).
Jenkins has until May 6 to appeal the decision, and the DRA say there is no suggestion that other players from the matches in question were involved in any way.

Fabio Wardley lands huge right hand to snatch knockout win from brink of defeat
The hometown hero went into the contest as the favourite to secure the interim WBA heavyweight title and put himself at the front of the queue for a shot at the WBA belt. But Wardley looked in deep trouble against Australian Huni, a late replacement for intended opponent Jarrell Miller, who pulled out with a shoulder injury at the end of April. Fabio is home. 💙🥊 — Ipswich Town (@IpswichTown) June 7, 2025 Heading into the 10th round, Wardley appeared to be well behind on the scorecards and did not seem to have much left but he landed a right hand on the chin of Huni, who was sent to the canvas and counted out. It was an 18th knockout of 19 wins for 30-year-old Wardley, who remains unbeaten. He landed a strong shot on Huni, who had won all of his previous 12 fights, at the end of the first round, but by the third round the Australian had begun to take control. More blows rocked Wardley in the fourth round and by the seventh he was bleeding from the mouth, the speed of Huni causing him all sorts of problems. The crowd had been quietened with Wardley apparently on the verge of defeat but the atmosphere changed in an instant as he found the perfect response. Wardley could now be in line for a clash with WBA champion Oleksandr Usyk, who will fight Briton's Daniel Dubois at Wembley next month.
