I think that's an "adjustment to the story" after the fact.  And it's still slander, even if it's not blackmail.

The ESPN article said they first heard the evidence on a phone call with someone from US soccer.

That sounds like a private investigator to me.  So there's an intentional act.

Multiple sources have confirmed Claudio Reyna tweeting ("publication") about "taking Berhalter down" to Earnie Stewart, Brian McBride ("with actual malice" intending to harm the victim), and obviously Eric Wynalda, who first ran the story (more publication) about the supposed split in the US camp about how half the players couldn't believe Gio wasn't playing.

You don't first discover the story if you knew it when you were room mates on the national team.

But I'm calling BS on the cover-up recollection story, because, it didn't happen when she played for the national team, it was when she was in high school, probably as a junior, because they didn't date for 7 months after it happened.  She still went to college for 4 years before she ever played for the national team.

And from Mrs. Berhalter's point of view, would you tell this story 5 years later, appropos of nothing about your husband?  It's not something you'd be proud of, so why would you share this story years later to your room mate on the national team.  It's not like they were room mates who lived together in real life.  It was for a couple weeks at a time, when the national team ordinarily meets.

Their families were friends.  Why would you do that?
