DARTS star Rob Cross faces 3 year BAN from DARTS after lewd gesture in World Championship loss see more 👇 👇 

Rob Cross is facing a 3 year match ban punishment from the Darts Regulation Authority after performing a lewd gesture during his World Championship defeat on Monday evening. The former world champion was knocked out of the tournament after losing 3-1 to his close friend Scott Williams in the second round.

Cross, who won the title in 2018 after getting the better of Phil Taylor in the showpiece match, took the first set against Williams at Alexandra Palace.

But the momentum soon shifted as his opponent won three sets on the bounce to set up a third round showdown with Ricardo Pietreczko.

Cross, who was seeded fifth after reaching the semi-finals last season, was clearly having a tough time up on the Ally Pally stage and stared down the crowd at one point.

He then formed a loose grip with his right hand, raised it up to his face and moved it from side to side as he pushed his cheek out with his tongue.
