Brian Vitori suspended from bowling for 12 months

Zimbabwe fast bowler Brian Vitori has been suspended from bowling in international cricket for 12 months, after his action for some deliveries was once again found to be illegal. He was hit with a suspension by the ICC because it was the second time in the space of two years that his action was deemed illegal.

Vitori had been suspended from bowling for an illegal action in February 2016 but was cleared by the ICC to resume bowling in June this year after undergoing remedial work.

Vitori can appeal against "any procedural aspect" of the latest test that led to his suspension, but he can approach the ICC for another assessment of his action only after 12 months.

The rules are there to be followed and if someone breaks them, punishment happens. It's a bit of a mess though, as his actions were considered legal in June and now are considered illegal, it seems a matter of interpretation.
