		Rather, based upon Diadiun's having witnessed the original altercation and OHSAA hearing, it was his view that any position represented by Milkovich and Scott less than a full admission of culpability was, in his view, a lie.
		The source, an OHSAA commissioner, is described - in evident contrast to Diadiun - as having attended the proceeding.
		Diadiun had already characterized the testimony of the two officials before the OHSAA as "obvious untruths." Thus, the commissioner's alleged assertion that the testimony in court was different is quite nebulous.

		The source, an OHSAA commissioner, is described--in evident contrast to Diadiun--as having attended the proceeding.
		There is only a vague statement from the OHSAA commissioner that the testimony "sounded pretty darned unfamiliar."[note 6] For the first time, Diadiun fails [30] to claim any firsthand knowledge, after stressing that he had personally attended both the meet and the OHSAA hearing.

		On Friday, OHSAA lawyer Steven Craig asked Judge James Williams to dismiss James' appeal of its ruling that declared him ineligible for getting the two "throwback" jerseys -- valued at $845 -- from a clothing store.
