Fredrik Björck, the football player?

The article links to Fredrik Bjorck as being key in discovering the author. The referenced source says: "Richard M. Smith, president of software tools developer Phar Lap Software Inc., and Fredrik Bjorck, a Swedish PhD student at Stockholm University's Department of Computer and System Sciences, have tracked down the virus writer to at least one specific Web site". Now I'm not certain that hte Fredrik Björk wikilinked in this article and the referenced person in the source is the same person. I found www.bjorck.com that made me think the football player and de discoverer are not the same person so until proven they are the same person, I removed the wikilinks. Can anyone confirm this?
