That's not what I'm getting at. The story is likely true and can't be denied, but we can't live in a world where people's lives are ruined by unsubstantiated tweets and something run by a media outlet before the whole story has unraveled.
TSN presenting the confirming of his action by other players is the hearsay at the moment. The team can come out with direct official statements from Aliu, the other players that were present, any statement from Bill about what happened.
It's a slippery slope otherwise. If corroboration from other people is enough evidence, people can collude to ruin someone's life for any motive, without any actual evidence.
