User blog comment:Wales8450/Todd Lasance is not playing savitar after all??? then who is he playing???/@comment-24695878-20160823234318/@comment-9346948-20160823235555

The false confirmation was after those reports were released. So the fact that he isn't, remains true for now. The author just reported the fact that Savitar was confirmed back from TCA and probably just assumed it was the same speedster.
