Eastern Mavericks Coaching Nominations

A lot has been made of swimmer Nick Darcy alledgedly punching an ex swimmer in a night club and subsequently being dumped from the swim team.

Soccer player Danny Vukovic assaults a referee in a game and The Australian governing body makes an allowance for him to serve his suspension either side of the Olympics.

FIFA have now overruled the Australian decision and are not allowing the suspension to be served in 2 parts and thus stoppinghim from being at the Olympics.

What are people's thoughts on the way the 2 sports handle the situations?

For mine the situations should have been reversed. Darcy should be OK to go as it happened in a nightclub and not at an event where he was wearing the green and gold. Vokovic "hit" a ref during a televised game. IMO one action is more detrimental to the sprt than the other.
