On one hand it’s easy to believe someone who was caught cheating before is cheating again. But on the other hand it is just an unsubstantiated accusation at this point.

just make sure the next match is played in a faraday cage room . Then apart from getting extra stimulation it wont help him.

You're a clown mate. Give up

He shouldn't be beating 15yos though. Violence solves nothing.

It's the anal beads talking. Of course they won't back down, they want to stay where it's warm.
