Kinda along my thinking. He knew the consequences so can't really argue. However, it is still VERY harsh. A line (groan ) has to be drawn between performance enhancers and recreational drugs.Originally posted by Conor74
If a penalty taker takes a recreational drug to calm himself, is that performance enhancing?
The simple fact is Ryan took drugs and got caught and must now pay the penalty. It may be very harsh, and of course there should be mitigation if it is not your classic case of systematic intake of steroids. I thought 15 months extremely harsh, but the current state of play is complete intolerance and Ryan knows the rules.
