Former five-time World Darts Champion Raymond van Barneveld has found himself in trouble with the sport’s top officials on a number of occasions after a new report into disciplinary matters was published by the Darts Regulation Authority.

The 59-year-old Dutchman was one of a number of top stars to have been punished for their conduct, in addition to other top names such as Luke Humphries, Rob Cross and Gary Anderson.

The recently-published list covers all offenses committed between June 2023 and April 2026 this year. The transgressions vary in their seriousness. For example, Humphries was cited for offensive language during a tournament, which cost him a £250 fine, while Cross was forced to pay £500 after making an offensive gesture on stage.

Raymond van Barneveld’s Offenses

Curiously, though, Van Barneveld’s name appeared twice on the document. Firstly, he was written up for “inappropriate behaviour and using offensive language’ at Players Championship 2 event in Wigan in 2025. This saw him hit with a £3,000 fine, as well as a three-month ban [suspended for 12 months].

Remarkably, Van Barneveld was summoned again just six months later, when he was handed a formal warning for “failing to report damage to a hotel room”.

Despite the surprising nature of his disciplinary record, Van Barneveld was far from the worst offender to be hauled in front of the DRA. Scotland’s Cameron Menzies was handed a four-month ban and a £2,500 fine for his viral outburst at the 2026 World Darts Championship.

Cameron Menzies Punished For World Championship Outburst

Menzies repeatedly punched a table several times following his first-round loss to Charlie Manby. However, his ban is suspended until the 23rd of July 2027, meaning that he will avoid having to serve it so long as he isn’t involved in any further incidents up until that time.

His fellow Scot Gary Anderson was also named in the document. ‘The Flying Scotsman’ found himself in trouble for “aggressive and abusive behaviour” at the 2025 World Matchplay in Blackpool. The former world champion was fined £3,000 [of which £1,000 was suspended].

While it is not a good look for several of the sport’s biggest names to find themselves in disciplinary trouble, none of the above players were the worst offenders.

The largest fines given on record were incidents of match fixing, of which five competitors were found guilty. The most serious of these cases involved Prakash Jiwa, who was hit with an 8-year suspension in January 2025, and was fined over £17,700.

Rangers are making progress in their pursuit of PSV Eindhoven star Couhaib Driouech, having tabled an offer worth in the region of €7.5 million (£6.4 million) for the winger, according to Sky Sports journalist Luca Bendoni.

Driouech was productive when granted opportunities last season, netting nine times and providing eight assists across all competitions for PSV. That said, Peter Bosz kept the Moroccan on the periphery of his squad for much of last term, handing him just 946 league minutes, prompting the wide man to consider an exit this summer.

The player’s output has sparked interest from Rangers, who are desperate to bolster their forward department by adding flair on the flanks in this window.

Talks between the Scottish giants and the Eredivisie champions are said to be ongoing as the two parties seek an agreement.

Rangers have been active in the transfer market thus far this summer, adding several players to bolster Derek McInnes’ chances of usurping Celtic for the title next season.

Ivan Pandur has arrived from Hull City for £6 million, Lawrence Shankland has joined on a free transfer from Hearts, while Partizan Belgrade star Vanja Dragojoevic has been added to the Teddy Bears’ ranks, among others.

Despite this rampant activity, Rangers’ business isn’t finished. There’s a feeling at Ibrox that more offensive firepower is needed to compete with Celtic, and they may be on the cusp of completing a statement move.

Writing on X, Sky journalist Luca Bendoni revealed that a £6.4 million bid for PSV’s Driouech has been made, and that the Gers are making progress on this front.

Couhaib Driouech Would Be a Statement Signing For Rangers

Born in the Netherlands, Driouech developed through the academy of Heerenveen, before spending three years at Eredivisie outfit Excelsior. Impressing in these three years, Dutch giants PSV made a move to sign the Morocco international in 2024.

While he’s largely fulfilled a squad role in Eindhoven, the winger has shown his quality whenever he’s been granted the opportunity to do so.

As shown by the data above, Driouech excels in the final third, displaying intelligent movement to get into dangerous positions to get shots off and creating high-quality chances for his teammates at an exceptional rate.

Just 24, Rangers would be making a statement by adding this coveted wide man to their squad, with the player primed to explode from an output perspective.

Oscar Pistorius was once one of the most recognisable and famous athletes on the planet, but his life took a significant turn in 2013, when he fatally shot his girlfriend.

Reeva Steenkamp died after being shot through the bathroom door on Valentine’s Day in 2013. Pistorius claimed he thought it was an intruder in his house, but the South African was later found guilty of culpable homicide and sentenced to an initial five-year prison term after a lengthy court case.

However, the charge was then upgraded to murder and Pistorius ended up spending eight years and six months in jail, before being released in 2024. In that time, as would be expected, his net worth decreased dramatically.

Pistorius claimed six gold medals during his career as a professional sprinter, rising to fame as one of the most successful Paralympians. At the height of his professional career, the South African was reportedly earning $2 million (£1.5m) yearly in sponsorship deals.

He was earning big money from brands such as Nike, BT, Thierry Mugler, Oakley and Ossur, who manufactured his prosthetic blades. According to The Mirror, Pistorius reached a peak net worth of $5 million (£3.8m) before his trial.

That has all changed after his eight-year spell behind bars. Pistorius was estimated to be worth $150,000 (£114k) upon his release from prison. His defence attorney Barry Roux claimed Pistorius ‘hadn’t earned a penny’ since legal proceedings began and that he was ‘broke’.

As part of his parole conditions, Pistorius is living in a three-storey mansion located in Pretoria. It is owned by his wealthy uncle, and the now 39-year-old will have to stay there until December 2029.

Pistorius Has a New Job and Girlfriend

It’s now been two years since he left prison, but Pistorius has kept a low profile ever since. It’s been reported that he’s now almost greying and unrecognisable.

According to sources in the area where he now resides, Pistorius started working for an engineering company in 2025. It’s a big change from his time as an Olympic athlete, but he’s also found time to take part in local Ironman triathlons and take up padel.

He’s also found love again, with a woman named Rita Greyling. The 33-year-old reportedly resembles Steenkamp. The pair are said to attend gospel church together.

Steenkamp’s father Barry, who has since passed away, always maintained that he’d never forgive Pistorius. Barry was convinced the former Paralympian deliberately killed his daughter, and the court proceedings almost bankrupted his family.
