Its time stewards got tough on people. I mean real tough not this wishie washie crap.
These 6-12 months penalties do nothing, other than to give these people a nice hoilday for the money thier earned cheating the sport in the pervious years. How about grow some balls,change the rules to this. Regardless of the drug ( bi-carb, epo, cobalt) who cares what its is a drug is a drug.

First offence 5 years , Second 10 years , Third life. You have to put some fear in people.
To me its seems at the monment its like go your hardest if you get caught so what. Its only
6 months, 12 months, 2 years. I'll just enjoy life untill then, get my licence back and go again untill I get caught. Theirs no deterrent for anyone to stop cheating or to not think
about doing it. Get real with penalties
