It doesn't really matter, could be for multiple reasons. What really matters is if there is any truth to them or not. I guess that remains to be confirmed.

Yorkshire hotline contacted by 36 people

Hotline set up in the wake of the Azeem Rafiq scandal to allow any other victims of racism at the club to come forward has had 36 calls.

This is why the comments by Rafiq won't affect the process at Yorkshire etc as he isn't the only one.
