Look at the bright side. He'll have 6 months to break his little shuffling habit.

Besides, I bet he comes and wins the next PT after his suspension is over.

I like how people are going to say that its unfair. But if you stop being an idiot and think about it, they ban people for a reason, and in this case it would be cheating. They need good probable grounds to ban someone, which im sure they have. Know all the facts before saying its unfair.

well according to what he said i doubt he comes back.

he said (on a french page):
Je viens de prendre un ban de six mois, sans trop comprendre pourquoi. Le temps est venu pour moi de fermer la page Magic qui représente la moitié de ma vie pour passer à autre chose. Bonne continuation à tous.

which means (i hope my french from school doesn't leave me now):
I got a six month ban without even knowing why. The time is right for me to quit magic which played the major role in my life to move on to something new. i wish you all the best.


well doesn't sound like he wants to come back :/

Then again, they suspended him for "unsportsmanlike conduct." Of all the possible charges, that's by far the most vague and subjective. Obviously I wasn't there and don't know all the details, but I always get a little leary when I hear "unsportsmanlike conduct," especially since Ruel has always had a reputation for being very mild-mannered in the past.

Yeah, that's pretty close:

I just got a six month ban without really understanding why. The time has come for me to close the page on my Magic career, which represents the majority of my life, to move on to other things. I wish you all the best.

It was a fair ruling, people get suspended from the DCI for this sort of thing. I'm assuming that this is for the Grand Prix shuffling and not for some other event, as I can't think of any other event which has happened more recently in Europe with REL 4.

He would watch himself shuffle, essentially, which could potentially allow for him to look at cards. Because he had been warned on numerous previous occaisions, he got nailed this time.
