But the question if he attended the one after game two and if he already made
his accusations is _not_ proven. Taken that for granted as you do, I would agree
with you. If it didn't happen this way, if he had asked away from the public you
should correct your judgement. As far as I can understand the article in the NY
Times there are no quotings from a press conference or from official
announcements, but from background informations coming from the DB side. In
reaction to their own background information the DB side (represented here by M.
Campell) made a public statement.
