Today Oct. 30, 2014 Magic: The Gathering player Jared Boettcher was stripped of his Rookie of the Year award and suspended from competing in DCI sanctioned Magic: The Gathering tournaments for four years in an announcement by Wizards of the Coast.

I should have careened through the pouring night sky and sailed over the edge into the Mediterranean Ocean. Instead, I bounced off of the impenetrable wall and the race continued as if nothing happened.
