How would you handle this sitch?

There was even a sportmanship commercial with this exact situation that ran for years. It didn't end with the official saying "sorry, even though you were directly involved and it is against your team's interest to provide that information, and a remarkable example of conscientiousness and sportmanship in a world dominated by the opposite of those traits, I know better than you."

Seriously, everyone on the other side must be joking. c'mon, take a step back. you are not seeing the forest for the trees here. embarrassing.
