This story from Nature discusses the use of Radial velocity method to disprove an exo-planet discovery made by astrometry...

Yes, but I would wait for awhile and see if the results of paper that's not been published can be fully verified themselves. Despite the science, these guys don't like being upstaged. I would wait until unambiguous data is used to prove or disprove the presence of the planet.

Radial velocity methods aren't without their problems either and with these small stars they can be a real pain to use.
