With PED it is a lot more black and white. You use them or you don't so no choice on the suspension length. With hits there are a lot of shades of grey that comes into deciding how long a suspension will be including if the guy handing out the suspension likes your team/player or not. It is very frustrating.I get the importance of the gambling and PED suspensions, but it took guys like Cooke to nearly kill careers multiple times to even come close.
The repeat offender tag has almost no real teeth by comparison.
Not worthy of a long discussion, but it's pretty infuriating.
