Chaos Gym vs. Supporters

[dkates]

If someone tries to play a Supporter with Chaos Gym in play, and flips tails, what happens? I can see a few possibilities:
a) It is immediately discarded (if the "reminder" text counts as putting it in play -- I think not).
b) The other player has the option of using it, and the player who attempted to play it can't try to play another Supporter this turn.
c) The other player has the option of using it, the player who attempted to play it can attempt another Supporter, but another failure means the other player can't use it.

I would lean towards c, but which is it really?

From the compendium:

Q. If Chaos Gym is in play, how do we handle using supporters? If I flip tails, does my opponent get a chance to use it or not?
A. Ok, supporters are basically normal Trainer cards with a limit built in (can only play 1 per turn). If you flip tails with Chaos Gym (after playing a supporter), your opponent can choose to use it if they want. That supporter would get placed down on the table as normal (near their active) and then would be discarded as normal at the end of your turn. Since YOU did not succesfully play a Supporter, you could try to play another one. This is just like Professor Elm and Chaos Gym in this sense. If you try a second one and it fails again your opponent could NOT use this second one as they are only allowed to use 1 per turn. Same as for Professor Elm. The only tricky part is that you need to remember to discard that supporter back into YOUR discard pile at the end of your turn. (Oct 10, 2002 WotC Chat, Q115)

Thanks, yoshi. I thought there was a ruling, but I didn't remember it.
