Darts star Darren Webster has accused opponent Ron Meulenkamp of farting during their MODUS Super Series match.

Former two-time World Championship quarter-finalist Webster took on Meulenkamp on Thursday evening, racing to a 3-0 lead.

Meulenkamp managed to peg the 55-year-old back in their best-of-seven-legs contest, winning 4-3.

Webster refused to shake his opponent's hand at the end of the game after he hit double 16.

He later took to social media and explained his actions. Nobody was prepared for his reason.

Webster posted on Facebook: "Well, when you play a guy who farts and stinks the stage out and denies it then kick you when your [sic] playing the stall every throw because they are s**t. Good luck for the future, but I'm not interested. Rant over."

'Demolition Man' later replied to a fan complaining about Meulenkamp's slow darts retrieval: "He was k**b, end of."

Webster lost three of his first four matches on opening night, while Meulenkamp won his first three.

It's not the first time darts has faced this controversy. In 2018, Wesley Harms accused two-time world champion Gary Anderson of the same offence during a Grand Slam of Darts clash.

Harms complained of a 'fragrant smell' during his 10-2 loss to Anderson, who took the complaints in his stride.

He said: "If the boy thinks I've farted he's 1010 per cent wrong. I swear on my children's lives that it was not my fault.

"Usually if I fart on stage I s**t myself. If I'd farted and it smelled like that I'd put my hands up and go "Sorry, I need to get off".

"Every time I walked past there was a waft of rotten eggs so that's why I was thinking it was him.'It was bad. It was a stink, then he started to play better and I thought he must have needed to get some wind out.

"If somebody has done that they need to see a doctor. Seemingly he says it was me but I would admit it."
