Maybe.
It really depends on what the umpire tells you. If he states the force is still in effect (thus admitting he's a dope), it certainly is protestable. The trick, of course, is getting him to admit to it.
Good managers ask questions, instead of going off. A good manager could draw out the right response. A bad manager would either not know the rule, or simply yell at the umpire.
