The fact is that some of the stuff the source claimed he was lying about has been shown to be true. So it appears he was telling the truth in the first place and just tried to back out when he discovered that his statements were recorded anjd he was threatened with a law suit.
Plus the league claims there are inconsistencies in the written statements the players have provided.
It may very well turn out that the Al Jazeera story was not strong enough evidence to suspend these players, but it appears to be enough to justify an investigation.
The league also claimed that cold weather doesn't lower air pressure in inflated things.
The league also claimed that using the crown of the helmet was legal as long as you didn't "line up your target".
The league also claimed that a coach pulling a player's hair on the sidelines wasn't worth a suspension, and on appeal wasn't even worth a fine.
The league also claimed that...
Anything from Al-Jazeera is only strong enough to warrant a fart in their general direction at the best.
The league's claims have less credibility than.. well, I can't even think a proper equivalent because they're so F'ing untrustworthy.
