Worthington cleared by NBL tribunal

BULLSHIT!

The Tigers got what they wanted and that was the championship so yes I agree they would hardly want to put any effort into bringing about justice, however if a loss had been the result of Worthington's actions, then I don't think the Tigers would have been so forgiving, regardless of whether there was a chance he would join them this next season or not. Either way, Worthington got away with something others did not. What was so special about this case that warranted being cleared? Why have the NBL said that no public comment was to be made? Shouldn't a public report on how they arrived at their decision be mandatory? What have they got to hide? If the fear is there that a suspension would see Australia disadvantaged in the Olympic games, isn't that cheating the system, just like the ones who try to hide from the fact they have taken performance enhancement drugs? What's the difference? Cheating is cheating.

Perhaps the Tigers need to take action now and personally sue him. If the incident had resulted in a loss to the Tigers in that game and subsequent loss of championship, you can bet your bottom dollar that the Tigers would be jumping up and down. As for the suspension everyone thought he should have got, what would he have been suspended from. I don't think you can extend it to the Olympic Games and which club should now suffer the consequence of game suspensions if he does not stay with the Kings? I just think it got a bit too hard for the NBL to deal with and took the easy option, although a personal fine would have been in order regardless.
