Cullen Renews Cheating Accusation Against Suljovic at World Championship

The dispute centers on gamesmanship versus permitted conduct, with only a referee warning issued so far.

Overview

  • Joe Cullen reiterated days later that Mensur Suljovic’s on-stage behavior amounted to cheating, repeating the claim in an interview with the Telegraph & Argus.
  • He alleged deliberate slow play, prolonged celebrations after legs, and a dismissive wave intended to influence him.
  • Referee Kirk Bevins warned Suljovic during the match, and there has been no further disciplinary action from the PDC.
  • Despite a three-dart average of 81.95, Suljovic defeated Cullen 3–1, a loss Cullen said he should have avoided.
  • Suljovic rejected the accusation and received public support from world champion Luke Littler, whom he is scheduled to face in the third round.
