From the New York Times article:
That decision has now gone against Mr. Rose. According to one of the people with knowledge of Mr. Manfred’s thinking, the commissioner was not persuaded by Mr. Rose’s answers at their September meeting and believed he still had not told the whole truth about the extent of his gambling as a player and manager.
