No, not when Donaghy is the one calling Foster. I can call anybody I want 100 times a day and if they are nice enough to answer the phone, then I guess I can implicate them when I get caught doing something ugly - maybe these are CYA calls. Those who are investigating this will have all the facts possible and until Foster gets charged with something, then there is no real implication. We are presumed innocent in this country.

Statistical spreads will be beat - that's the nature of statistics. I don't see any quoted statistics about the likelihood of game outcomes where Foster/Donaghy did not talk [and am not really interested in them anyway].
