They aren't left with much room for further punishment if he is found not guilty, that's the only point I was making. If he was a Super Street competitor, would this thread exist and would ANDRA (or CAMS, or the national snowboarding body for that matter) make any mention of one of their members at a "non-professional" level being charged, and yet to be found guilty?
No trouble agreeing that it's not a good look as all racers are tarred with the same brush from the general uninformed public's point of view.
A world record holder in the pool was recently outed as a pot smoker, a two paragraoh apology was enough to maintain his golden child appearance. Interesting hey!
Maybe ANDRA could have revoked all licences of people involved until the matter was decided in court.
