I disagree.. the implication here is there is something else behind why he missed. This could potentially prevent someone trading him in, as without a source or context this could be anything from a hidden injury to a behavioural issue. I think if someone is going to contradict what has been reported in the media, it should either have context or a source, if not both, or it should be removed.
If I posted something along those lines I would likely have received a warning so feel like the rules should be applied equally to all.
