For the record there were claims that were not 25 or 10 years old. Some of the situations were in the last few years.

Perhaps they were. And I seriously doubt they will ever comment on why one person was or was not suspended.

In the Davies case, he admitted to violating the policy and made that known in the press himself (or through an authorized representative). Perhaps with others, they've not and it has only been a suspicion with no proof. Claims of people not being suspended are only that...perhaps the authorities in charge didn't feel they had enough evidence to take action.

I can tell you for a fact that they enforce the code (which covers many issues). I have direct knowledge of someone sent home from school for violating the code (in a different way) and it was just a few months ago. But it didn't make the press.

He put them in quite a bind by going public with it; enforce the policy or be seen as catering to star athletes.
