Its all irrelevant hyperbole pushed by the media at present.
If they hadnt gone overboard with the condemnations, the sheep that follow them wouldnt have been prodded into baaaaaa ing so loudly.
They all cheat in one way or another, the simple question is does the punishment fit the crime.
When many other high profile athletes got caught doing things, the courts basically say the humiliation is mostly enough of a punishment.
( plus a small fine and a game or 2 out )
These three have effectively been fined millions of dollars by being banned from doing their job.
I'm all for that, IF, the rest of the worlds players ( in all sports ) also get the same for "minor" indiscretions.
Not going to happen when there is a dollar in it
( same as our pollies/banks/lawyers/childcare operators/etc wont ever be punished for "cheating" )
