Is this a new border policy? He says he was busted for his senior prank 12 years ago and they wouldnt let him in to cover a tournament.

i heard this, and was just wondering why sebok wouldn't just tell them he was going to play in the tournament, since i'm sure that's what his plan was anyways.

Remember when US barred Olympic gold medelist Ross Rebagliati from entering US for having just admitted that he'd smoked pot, even though he'd never even been convicted of anything.

Yeah, it's BS that they barred him (and the stuff about the trafficking allegations seems like something out Brazil or something), but it seems Joe took the wrong approach to crossing the border and offered way too much info at the outset. As our cabbie mentioned after we passed the border, "Never tell them more than you have to." Canadian customs are notoriously huge [censored]. Unless they were traveling with a bunch of recording equipment or something, there was no reason to complicate things by saying anything other than, "We're going to play a poker tournament." Anyway, sucks Joe...
