A further statement, on the BBL website, on the day that Rodman is due to take to the court for the Bears again, says:

"As a result of our ongoing investigation in to the eligibility of the Brighton Bears team Andrew Alleyne has been de-registered for BBL Competitions with immediate effect."

Which, roughly translated, appears to mean "Alleyne's been cut, for the moment, to make sure the Bears don't breach the regulations in the next two games"
