Joe Cullen has given his take on gamesmanship in Darts after he was accused of it a few weeks ago by an unnamed opponent and speaking to Live Darts he said that for him it's cheating.
Cullen added that there are too many people who call it old school but for him in reality it's cheating and that he thinks it sad that players have to resort to it.
"The way I see it, you can call it gamesmanship or whatever you want, but in my eyes it's cheating,' said Cullen.
"I've never ever been called a cheat in my life and there was an incident the other week, I won't mention names or what went on, but you can tell the reaction from somebody if somebody gets called out on stage, you can tell by their reaction whether it's true what the other player is saying.
"My reaction was "I'm not having it - I'm not a cheat".
"There's a lot goes on that a lot of people don't see.
"There are people who are very heavy-footed on stage, but it is what it is.
"People say 'get on with it, it's old school' but to me it's as good as pushing me in the back while I'm trying to throw a dart - it's cheating.
"I genuinely think it's sad, I honestly do."
