Michael Van Gerwen / Jelle Klaasen Dispute

[dibble1]

I've been trying to find what the grudge is between these two, it's clearly very serious, I thought there were rules about handshakes. Can anyone enlighten me?

Many people predicted that other players would give Jelle Klaasen the cold shoulder because of his 2012 conviction for sending nude photographs of himself to an under-age, mentally handicapped girl. Most now seem to have largely forgotten about it but Michael van Gerwen clearly doesn't want to associate with JK who, in turn, has decided that there's no point in trying to be friendly with MVG.

Thanks for that. I thought that incident may have had something to do with it.

I didn't even know about that!
