They don't have time to wait for the results, they have media to print, and the fallout would be worse should anything happen.

True, on the other hand was a risky choice based on past events. Wasn't he on one already? Maybe after the first cup maybe it is time to put Jon Toes on the cover or Maron Housea

I keep thinking of the Duke lacrosse case when reading each news item about Patrick Kane, not that this is the same scenario at all, but still, that case should have everything hitting the brakes on making judgments.

Yup. I saw that. Which I don't necessarily agree with either.

They don't want to be associated with anyone that is being investigated for a crime.

No harm in them distancing themselves regardless of guilt.

Plus these sponsorship deals generally have a moral clause and being investigated for a crime does break that weather innocent or guilty unfortunatley.

Guilty until proven innocent
also, doesn't really effect anything on who is on the cover

Moral clause in sponsorship deals.

Being investigated of a crime breaks that.

They have every right to distance themselves.

If you want sponsorship deals maybe next time you won't put yourself in that type of situation.

I had heard rumblings that it wasn't over a $600 plane ticket but a $1500 bet that someone was refusing to pay.
