It's an interesting comment from Xavier. That players are likely not to miss any matches even with a guilty verdict.
This might indicate that the players have grounds for backdating even a 2 year suspension.
Either that, or it is obviously exaggerated for PR reasons.
The interesting question to me is if the past year since the WADA appeal can be backdated through delays that cannot be attributed to the players. They played according to the not guilty verdict.
Obviously the provisional suspensions are included in the backdating.
