  • It does seem a bit self-contradictory at first, but the "disagreed" here does not mean that the judges disagreed with each other but that they disagreed with the presumption that he was fit to compete.

Not exactly a specimen of good writing, I have to say…

  • Since "unanimously disagreed that he was fit" is in the questions, shouldn't you say: i.e., unanimously agreed that he was unfit"?

"Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
