‘If Ron really farts, you don’t get back up’ – Darts star has his say on ‘fartgate’ drama
DARTS star Wesley Plaisier has had his say on the “fartgate” drama which has enveloped the sport like a bad smell.
Darren Webster accused opponent Ron Meleunkamp of stinking up the joint during their MODUS Super Series clash earlier this month.
Webster claimed his rival purposefully broke wind to distract him on the darts oche.
And he even took to social media to slam Meleunkamp afterwards.
Webster said: “When you play a guy who farts and stinks the stage out and denies it, then kick you when you’re playing the stall every throw because they are s**t, good luck for the future but I’m not interested.
“Rant over. He was a k**b, end of.”
But Meleunkamp’s pal Plaisier has rushed to the defence of the Dutchman.
He insists his buddy did not fart during the match.
That’s because if Meleunkamp had truly had a bout of flatulence, Webster would have REALLY known about it!
Plaisier told the Double Top podcast: “It’s completely taken out of context by Webster’s post on social media.

“I heard from Ron that he did nothing wrong and that there was a foul smell in the room all day.
“I do know that if Ron really farts, you don’t get back up. But here he was just falsely accused.
“Ron shook hands with Webster afterwards, I don’t think I would have done that anymore. I wouldn’t even look at him again.”
When asked if he’d ever tooted on stage, Plaisier laughed: “Certainly not on stage.
“I may have accidentally farted once in the pub but that happens to everyone!”
