Labarre Suspended for One Year
Fresh from his victory over juggernaut Kai Budde in GP: Biarritz, Nicholas Labarre of France was suspended from the DCI for one year. The official listed reason for the suspension was 'unsportsman-like conduct.' Our sources were able to gather some more specific details.
An anonymous employee of the DCI reported that the organization received testimony from 'an extremely reliable source' that Labarre had once mumbled in his sleep several 'disgusting and biologically impossible' statements regarding Mark Rosewater's parentage, 5 years ago. When asked to reveal the witness, the source refused, but added 'his name contains a K, A, I, and a B.'
Labarre fervently denies any wrongdoing. His friends say he plans to fight the charges with an emotional internet diatribe, and then lapse into a guilty silence.
