I don't know. Is is really the responsibility of the sportswriter to uncover and denounce fraud, risking his/her career and livelihood?
Sure, its great if they do (and are right), but does it fall on them?
A reason you have regulators is for whistleblowers to keep their necks.
Frankly, if we're going to look at that way, the players should have been policing themselves better. A lot of misplaced solidarity went on. No one wanted to be the rat.
