Darts duo fined after altercation

English darts players Adrian Lewis and Kevin Painter have been suspended and fined following an altercation at the Open Holland Masters last April.

The pair were both disqualified from the tournament for their conduct during a quarter-final match.

Lewis, 23, from Stoke received a six-month ban, with four months suspended, and was fined £400.

Essex-born Painter, who now lives in Northamptonshire, was found guilty of similar offences and fined £200.

The 40-year-old was also handed a three-month ban, two months of which are suspended.

Lewis is still able to compete in this weekend's World Matchplay and both men have 28 days to appeal.
