Robert Milkins has been fined a total of £7,000 including costs for ‘extreme drunken behaviour at this year’s inaugural Turkish Masters.
The 46-year-old from Gloucester ended up in hospital in Antalya with a cut face and having his stomach pumped after a birthday bender turned sour. Milkins arrived already very drunk at the glitzy red-carpet bash on the eve of the first ranking event to be staged on Turkish soil.
The player known as ‘The Milkman’ became embroiled in an altercation with guests at the swanky five-star Nirvana Cosmopolitan hotel on the Mediterranean coast. And as WPBSA chairman Jason Ferguson attempted to help him, Milkins fell in the gents toilets - splitting his chin open in the process. He was then rushed to a nearby hospital.
