Fair call, but put yourself in the position of all the players who may have known nothing about this. They have worked hard all year and have now been deprived of the chance to play finals. How many of these players will return next year after being betrayed?Yet you can use sandpaper and come back and play for your country.
Not a good look but hardly worth a life ban.
Always better to let the dust settle before you judge to harshly.
I'm sure whoever is involved are regretting their actions now.
