Happily for lovers of school-yard humour, Myerson reports this week that the BSB has decided that he has no case to answer.

When contacted by Legal Cheek this morning, a BSB spokesperson said: “We don’t comment on individual cases unless a disciplinary tribunal has been scheduled.”

The full exchange can be found in this thread of comments.
