Try doing it without the magistrate's name. But I've literally read a hundred articles making that magistrate claim without his name or quote being included. I didn't state the claim was untrue, I stated it was (as best I could tell, given a mountain of articles) single sourced.
But as for your question: yes, I expect The Athletic to quote multiple sources to support a claim, or at least attempt to do so. Publications I respect at least put things like, "we attempted to reach out to (source) but they did not respond by the time of publication." And even better, actually amend the article should the source respond.
