(I live in the same country as you.) In regards to Spek, he fully disclosed his issue, and was still punished for breaking the rules; good, he had it coming. However, many people observed the duel, and the results are well known. Despite this, the rule was still brought up, resulting in an ask for a rematch and finally a forfeiture. Okay, that is all fairplay, but not in the interests of sportsmanship, in my humble opinion. In regards to Krup, the rules were broken. Nowhere in the rules does it mention a concentual agreement that can override the rules. If I agreed with my opponent for him to fly a Zeke and me a Pony, that doesn't make it within the rules. I believe, to be fair and consistent, Krup should have been issued a warning aknowledging that the rules were broken, and that is only fair and within the rules to ask for. Therefore the "phew" should not bashed for fairly asking for some consequence when that door was previously opened.
