I take it as the AFL are trying to negotiate a ban that won't be appealed, now we're already two years in which means that ASADA want at least 4.
At least 4?
That is the maximum it can be. For the really bad cheats who pump PED into their bodies and preplan to cheat and avoid tests like taking blood transfusions pre testing to dupe the efforts of WADA.
So if the really professional, highly funded, high tech cheats can only get max 4 years why would / could ASADA / WADA expect the maximum for a pot smoker who messed around at a piss test sitting in front of a testing officer? No systematic PED cheating, no premeditated avoidance and only pot.
