How is it “muckraking”. We publish various archived stories each day. This was obviously a massive story at the time and was the most worthy of reading. It clearly states that the article is from 2009.

Yes but the end result of the appeal is not mentioned, so it appears to all and sundry who do not know the final decision. The Perrins got 7 years disqualification, which was overturned at the appeal.

I am sure the Perrins are pleased you have pasted the result of the appeal, I know it was a terrible time for the PERRINS.
