Mail on Sunday Retracts Story on Wimbledon Commentator

The Mail on Sunday has retracted an inaccurate story claiming the BBC was paying Tim Henman £200,000 to commentate Wimbledon, Tabloid Watch reported.  Henman is a retired tennis player.

The Mail on Sunday retracted the story and published an apology explaining Henman would be paid “substantially less than that.”

A Google search of “Tim Henman Wimbledon” produces stories by the Daily Star, the Mirror, and the Express reporting the £200,000 figure (or £14,000 a day), but if you click through the links, you no longer find the stories. It appears those outlets have unpublished the story.
