No. It would be better to get rid of him - whether he "resigns" or is fired - immediately...you can always reinstate him and offer an "apology" later if it all turns out to be bogus after all...then Stern can point to his actions and simply say he was trying to protect the integrity of the league...get as much distance from the accused as you can, the whole concept of "plausible deniability", etc...
