Re: What happened to Harolf Dean????
I guess when the fish are beat up, looking a few days old and the divers fail a polygraph.... that's how I guess.

Old looking fish I understand but Polygraph? I thought that was a joke, and still do.

Re: What happened to Harolf Dean????
Great Job???? Tony has know about this cheating for three years! He kicked the old moderators off because they raised a concern about this EXACT THING! If anything, Tony tried everything he could to sweep this cheating under the rug until it became just too obvious.

Re: What happened to Harolf Dean????
I'm just amazed that a lie detector machine is used in a spearfishing tournament. That is a definite indication that there is a problem with the structure of the event. I would never submit to that test whether I cheated or not, its degrading.
Polygraph tests have been proven to be inaccurate. I remember one particular show with Barbara Walters lying and passing the test. There is a reason why they're inadmissible in a court of law. I don't care about this tournament one way or another so I have no opinion on Harlof getting busted. |

Actually... Some states and federal court judges now accept lie-detector results even though many states ban them outright. From what Ive read, Its far easier to beat a lie detector test than fail it, which these guys allegedly did. |

Re: What happened to Harolf Dean????
lie detector machines are used in most big tournaments and by entering the tourny you subject your self to the test
hes a cheater some one close to him told me and its about time he got caught it was a stupid thing to do especialy a diver of his skill level probably could have scored pretty high without breaking the rules if he comes to palm beach and does the same thing i will make him eat through a straw for a couple months.......see you guys at the next tourney

Re: What happened to Harolf Dean????
The same thing he's done the last two years at least,, him and a few others left early and headed to the Bahamas to shoot fish with guns not slings.
Thank you to those involved in making sure it ended this year. |

Re: What happened to Harolf Dean????
The format of this tournament is an open invitation to all cheaters. Surprised it took so long for someone to get busted. People cheat in tournaments with much more stringent rules, this one should be a piece of cake for the con artists. I work in aquaculture, and have quite a few cobes in our tanks that could take first place! It is a great tourney with a lot of good people, but to think nobody is going to try to cheat is naive.
