David Branch statement:
"Last year we conducted an independent third-party investigation into the allegations that you mention and could find no evidence of any team tampering with the draft nor teams acting in a manner prejudicial to the welfare of the League... I would ask that . the people you have spoken to, please provide it to the League and we will review it and determine if further investigation is required"
