        In my earlier report certain accusations were made towards team
Oklahoma. I have just recently read the report from Edward Fox and after
some serious thought and soul searching I have decided to retract my
earlier statements and offer my sincere appoligies to team Oklahoma. I
believe I may have acted in haste and do not wish to ruin their
reputations or turn them away from the game. Also I do NOT want this to
turn into something more than it is, because I believe it would only
damage the integrity of the sport. I have never before made an
accusation of any kind aginst anyone. I wrote what I did without full
knowledge of the facts and though if I did it over with those same facts
I would have come to the same conclusion, in light of new evidence I
believe I was wrong. I also urge other players no to make public
accusations of any kind until you have discussed it with the offending
party first. I believe that these actions can only result in the
degeneration and decy of Magic as a professional sport, and this is
something that I believe no one wants to happen. I hope I am forgiven
for what I have said, but if not that is their right as well. Again I
reiterate my apologies and hope what has been said by me causes no long
term effects, save the reduction of public accusations.

                sincerly,
                Ryan Fischbeck
