Three darts stars suspended over suspicious betting patterns

Prakash Jiwa, Andy Jenkins and Jack Main have all been suspended by the DRA over suspicious betting patterns on matches in the Modus Super Series.

In June 2023, the IBIA (International Betting Integrity Association) reported suspicious betting in the match between Jack Main and Lisa Ashton - though there is no suggestion that Ashton was involved in any way.

The matches that are under investigation involving Jiwa and Jenkins are yet to be confirmed. And they will be referred to the DRA Disciplinary Committee where a formal hearing will take place.

A statement from the DRA read: "The Darts Regulation Authority Chairman Nigel Mawer has taken the decision to suspend Prakash Jiwa, Andy Jenkins and Jack Main from attending or competing in DRA sanctioned events whilst an investigation is conducted into suspicious betting on matched played in the Modus Super Series.

"The Modus Super Series is an independently tun series of events. The players have the right to appeal the decision. These are two separate enquiries."

Modus Super Series have also confirmed they are aware of the allegations, and they will aid in the subsequent investigation.

Jiwa had qualified for the PDC World Championship, coming through an Indian Qualifier round. The PDC World Championship will swing into action on December 15, and it's currently unclear what Jiwa's suspension will mean for the event.
