Gonna step on someone's toes with this... but i dont care. If ASA dropped this caliber of a person (I am assuming he was a very capable umpire and the above quote lacks a lot of detail) because of this... then ASA lost out. guess they needed to make room for someone's nephew or cousin (ok, cheap shot.. but you cant say its doesnt happen)
