Not knowing any facts here in this case but I also suspect marinading for too long can also be a great growing medium for bacteria.
As far as the paper goes, I believe it is complete hack journalism to mention anyone or any place that may or may not have been involved until the FACTS are known.

Marinading is a good point, some will baste with the same marinade the food was in without realizing that all must be brought back up to temp again.. I know this group knows that but I've seen it screwed up before.

I was not there, but spoke in person with 2 competitors who were there. They both were asked to judge the "Iron Chef" competition on Friday night, and they believe that was the origin. They were both wiped out for several days
