UK Pokémon Video Game Champion Disqualified

    A group of Spanish Pokémon players were escorted out of a hotel by police due to having been found to be throwing their own feces into the hallway. The next day, Ruben Puig Lecegui, a member of the group,won the event for the second year in a row. Play! Pokémon's manager, Dave Schwimmer, made a comment on the forums of Smogon.

     "The Pokémon Company International expects its players to maintain high standards of behaviour conducive to the family-friendly environment that we foster. The Pokémon Company International conducts full investigations into any matters where we believe that a player has failed to maintain these standards, and take appropriate action when necessary. In this case, we have found that unacceptable behaviour did take place, and have taken the appropriate steps in response."
