PDC Release Statement as New Footage Emerges of Cameron Menzies Incident
The Professional Darts Corporation has issued a statement after new footage emerged online relating to an on-stage incident involving Cameron Menzies during the World Darts Championship.
The incident took place during Menzies’ match at the World Darts Championship at Alexandra Palace. While the moment was briefly visible on the original broadcast, additional angles shared on social media have reignited discussion among fans and pundits.
In response to the circulation of the footage, the PDC confirmed it is aware of the situation and clarified its position regarding disciplinary matters.
“Any conduct-related incidents are handled by the Darts Regulation Authority,” a PDC spokesperson said. “The appropriate procedures will be followed.”
The Darts Regulation Authority is responsible for reviewing behaviour at PDC-sanctioned events. This process typically includes assessing available footage, reports from officials and any statements provided by the player involved before deciding whether further action is necessary.
Menzies has already addressed the incident publicly, offering an apology and explaining that he was dealing with a challenging personal period at the time. He stressed that he regretted the moment and accepted responsibility for his actions.
Reaction within the darts community has been divided. Some supporters have called for firm standards to be upheld, while others have expressed sympathy, pointing to the intense pressure players face when competing on the sport’s biggest stage in front of a global audience.
At present, no formal outcome has been announced, and it remains unclear whether the newly surfaced footage will influence any further decisions.
As the tournament continues at Ally Pally, the episode has once again highlighted the scrutiny players are under at the highest level of the sport — and the fine balance between competitive intensity and maintaining composure on the world stage. 🎯
