There is a strong temptation to pull the double but in this case it should be resisted.
Partner has doubled after a competitive auction sending the message"They can't make it",and partner,however suspect, must be trusted.
You are going to look pretty foolish if 5[♠is failing(probably doubled) when 5♥
is also failing. The effect of removing the double is equivilant to you saying "I saw your double partner
but you're a liar and I don't trust you!" Pass with gritted teeth and pray that partners double was justified
