ONE glass of Merlot with dinner at
Mariner's Landing.

The game warden also reported smelling
alcohol on de Tournillon both at the
scene and the hospital.


And for the first time, we're hearing
from Mark de Tournillon.

In a statement released today -- de
Tournillon said quote: My family and I

QUESTION: I understand there's been
some backlash at the Smith Mountain
Lake Boating Association?

That's right. The Boating Association
took an unofficial vote last night to
oust its president -- Tom Curling -- as
a result of our story yesterday.

A spokesperson for the association says
Curling's statements regarding de
Tournillon's *reputation* were
inaccurate.


Keith, he says the decision to boot
Curling was one the board had been
considering prior to our interview.

Florida State officials had
threatened to sue the NCAA over its new
