I hope so as the BBC has not instigated an inquiry so he had not had the opportunity to refute the allegations to his employer.

Already he claims that he has 6 players who were present who support him. I would not expect him to publicly name then but he should be allowed to put up or shut up to the BBC in an internal inquiry.

One more point

That is hilarious coming from you.

You keep saying you won't post on the political threads any more, but you keep coming back.

Don't waste time responding with your usual slurs because you won't get a reply.

I was quickly following up on a reply to me. Thanks for your insistence that you won't be replying back. As you're not part of the exchange to begin with, that's no trouble at all.

I wish you well.

Actually, I said that I wasn't replying to you, which is different. There was no commitment going forward.

I reserve the right to reverse that position when it amuses me.

The BBC decision on Vaughan was entirely predictable - guilty until proved innocent nowadays.
His life and those of others will be destroyed by unproven words taken out of context and so we now live in a world where anything could come back to bite any of us just because someone wants to cause aggro.
Matthew Hoggard got dropped from a dinner last week because of Rafiq - he will likely lose a ton of work now.
He apologised before this all became public but that is not enough for these nutters.
Rafiq texts anti-semetic stuff and chats up young girls and apologises and that's okay - but not for Hoggy of coursse - hmmm - I wonder why?
Are there problems in cricket and other sports - yes I am sure there are.
Are they getting better - I believe so from what I hear and read.
Will this kind of witch hunt do anyone any good and make everything better - very unlikely.
As I said a week or so ago - educating people is the best way forward but as always the pendulum has already swung too far.
Thousands of calls to a phone line to report racism and bullying in cricket where you can bet that the vast majority are pure rubbish and as always the important stuff will get lost and the cause will regress.
One player has been quoted as saying that they mimicked his voice and it made him feel bad - well mate - I work in construction and it has nothing to do with race it is about mickey taking so stop using race as the reason and join in the fun - they probably did it to a high pitched ginger as well but we haven't heard about him have we!
Common sense and reason have gone from our Society - we are pathetic now - utter madness.
I will though always say that bullying of any sort has no place in our lives - I have suffered from it in the past and it isn't pretty but some of this stuff is not even worth listening to.

They forced them to eat Haggis.
