You didn't read carefully enough:

Pay close attention to (...).

Yes they claim to have some circumstantial evidence, if
they had clear evidence they didn't need to ask for the source-code, but
just ban him at once.
It's very difficult, maybe impossible to prove that LIST is a Crafty clone
without having the source-code.

It would be silly if we had a tournament where half of the programmes where
Crafty clones, but they couldn't be banned because nobody could prove it.
It's all in the Tournament rules: We are in doubt, show us the code.
