The condemnation was not only the media"What do you mean by media?"
A very big percentage of the critics were their own peers and former players.
That the media reported what happened is their job and would be remiss if they did not report on it.
The public have a right to be indignant as this team has been at the forefront
of the holier-than-thou attitude for a long time.
Now the boot is on the other foot.
There are many jobs that one can loose one's livelihood if found to have transgressed,from prime ministers ,judges lawyers truck drivers etc.
These players would have/should have thought what could happen if caught,if they didn't then they just have to take the punishment.
As I said in my other post, this may not be the final punishment,it could be reduced on appeal.
