They can when they want to get something!
No, actually they can't. They are simply facts--bits of information. The lie must come in the offering, or the refuting of the information. They have been offered in this case as a comparison of the quality, or quantity as the case may be, of wrestlers going to state based on a flawed system where 50% of the varsity wrestlers in a given classification go to state while 25% of another go. That is the offering.
So far the refuting has come in the form of attacking the post as boring and implying the numbers are a lie.
Sometimes the indefensible position is the position YOU hold.
