You make the common mistake of misunderstanding what slander and libel are.

Unless you can show the false statements that people are saying, there is no
slander or libel here. If I say, "I think it is likely that Vincent did it,"
that is not slander or libel. If I say, "I have first hand knowledge that
Vincent intentionally fabricated evidence to mislead the ICGA to get List
disqualified," AND you can prove that I am lying, AND you can prove that my
intent in saying that was to cause damage to the reputation of Vincent, then it
is possible that there is slander or libel.
