  • Not independently verified: Nike lost Messi to adidas over a few tracksuits.
  • Spanish court rules Messi's Nike document non-binding; Messi signs with adidas

Never retrieved by any phase. The single origin of the tracksuit anecdote, serialised in the Wall Street Journal; everything downstream is repetition-only, so this record stands alone and is not independent confirmation of itself (§13.4) — the claim register records `independentSourceIds: []` for the claim it supports. Unresolved conflict on its publication year: Phase 1 dates it 2022, Phase 5 dates it 2023 (Phase 8 Annex B, C-09); no publicationDate is asserted here rather than silently resolving that conflict. Phase 1 and Phase 5 each entered this book separately; the two records were merged here in unit 3.19 because they are the same source.
