Can you imagine if this was the NBA, MLB or NFL? In the NFL he would have
been suspended from one tournament and required to seek counseling. In MLB
he would have been ordered to start the next tournament blast off at the end
of the order. In the NBA he would have gained several new product
endorsements as a result of earning more "Street-Creds".

Thanks God there are some sports left with integrity!

"In a highly unusual turn, angler Paul Tormanen of Lees Summit, Mo., was
arrested and charged with contest fraud by the Louisiana Department of
Wildlife and Fisheries following his weigh-in. Tormanen was subsequently
disqualified from the tournament and - after admitting he violated state
law - was banned from all future BASS tournaments for his unsportsmanlike
conduct. Conduct in BASS tournaments that reflects unfavorably on
sportsmanship or fair competition are grounds for disqualification."
.....this fellow appeared to be an up and coming contender looking at his
stats.
