Wow, Reverend. There is no reference to what called for the disqualification in the article - any idea?

TB, there's no official reason given, even on their website. It's just an unspecified "personal behavior" issue. Having said that, I'm sure the rumor mill is already in motion. :)

I guess I am used to sports organizations completely ignoring "behavior". The fact that this got jumped on so quickly and publicly is surprising. The cynical side of me, of course, wonders if it was really merited...

This is an extremely rare occurrence, so I'd guess it's warranted indeed.
