I think intent must be present, positive, planned and proven. I just don't like it one bit.

Well, let me play devil's advocate here for a moment. Should you not get the traffic ticket for running the red light because the cop cannot prove you intended or planned to run it? Or should you get it because you did, intent or not? Or, even closer to home (so to speak), do you not call an over-and-back violation if the player tells you he honestly did not know he couldn't be the last one to touch the ball? Of course not. So, Rafi had knowledge, or access to the knowledge of what is legal and what isn't. Maybe he's absolutley truthful when he says he did not knowingly ingest this banned substance. But he did. Case closed. Next case.
