They could only be a sore looser if indeed they did loose, but they didn't :).
But then again the words referred to below don't seem to apply universally.
Respect - show it to those who competed and won obeying written rules.
Fairness - first gather evidence, proof, and hear both sides of the story. Give
the accused party time and opportunity to comment.
Ethics - Throwing unproven accusations without any background information on
the real situation at hand is not very ethical either (see Respect).
Fellowship - Seems to be exhibited in a strong way by one side of the argument
amongst each other but not as a whole group based on the discussion to date.
It always goes both ways.

Kelly, It's much more than just trying to gain an unfair advantage. Please
reread the the first paragraph which contains words like "respect , fairness,
ethics and fellowship". But the last one is the most important word - " sore
loser "
