“Allegations of foul play have been received that somehow King Conker swapped his real conker for the metal one later found in his pocket. … There are also suggestions that King Conker had marked the strings of harder nuts. We can confirm he was involved in drilling and lacing the nuts before the event.
The metal conker is suspicious, however to them start going around and making other random claims makes you sound like a sore loser.

You’d need steel chestnuts to even attempt such a thing!

An absolute scandal which has rocked the Conkers World Championship to its core. It will be a long time before it can ever recover from this.
