Former South Africa wicketkeeper Thami Tsolekile is among four players banned for a total of almost 40 years as investigations into corruption at the Ram Slam Twenty20 continue.
Personally I think that any player banned for corruption, match fixing or drug taking should automatically suspended and if the investigation finds them guilty it should be a lifetime ban, although I'm probably in the minority that think that way.
Players will no doubt come out with all kinds of reasons why they acted a certain way, and try and justify what they have done, but at the end of the day we're talking about grown men who are privileged to earn a living from playing a sport they are supposed to love. They know what they are doing and if they are willing to take the risk, then they should be willing to accept the punishment when they get caught.
