The 47-year-old was involved in a spat with Dutchman Mario Robbe during a second round tie in Minehead. Jenkins was filmed in an altercation during the match. He lost 6-5, and there was no post-match handshake between the pair. It may be that his
UK Open transgressions trigger a previously unknown suspension.
As part of the
release of the first confirmed sanctions of 2019, the Darts Regulation Authority (DRA) confirmed that action has been taken against Jenkins for an incident in November. The hearing results confirmed that 'Rocky' was found guilty of directing homophobic language towards a match official during a Challenge Tour match on November 11 last year.
A £1,000 fine was levied against Jenkins. The DRA also imposed a three-month ban, which was suspended until July 5.
That means that, if the DRA picks up on his UK Open incident, Jenkins could face further sanctions.
The DRA release also confirmed
Gerwyn Price's £21,500 fine, as well as fines against Mickey Mansell and William O'Connor.
