As much as i support that the culprits be purnished squarely, i still think a life ban is too harsh because we still want to consider the fact that the players mostly don't have any other thing to fall back on, but a 2 or 3 year ban will do just fine for the players especially considering that 3 years is a very long time in a footballer's cycle...
