Well if you look at the transcripts from the trial not everyone is convinced he is guilty of rape.
Courts, Judges and Juries are not infallibe and mistakes very occasionally do happen.
So maybe Mr Evans and his family and legal team do think his conviction is unsafe and that certain evidence was not made available to the court or the jury.
Maybe that is why he cannot admit guilt.. Maybe there is more to this story than just the question of whether a convicted rapist should play football again.
