Nobody has been "caught" doing anything.

Show me some video where a player was messing with the ball and then that player will be caught. It isn't like there are not cameras all over the damn place.

You are making assumptions about how it happened. Nothing I have said is an assumption.

I am not denying anything. I am simply pointing out that the statistical analysis is meaningless (which it is).
