Anyone here here hear about the punishment handed out to Melbourne Storm (that's Australia) for breaking slary cap rules? Bear in mind, it's a totally 'in-house' NRL (=EPL) thing with no government involvement (yet). They got stripped of their titles 'won' in the last five years, got fined 1.6 M dolllars (seems a pittance, but that's a big sum for this sport), stripped all their points, and can't get any more points this season,
They broke a regulation over a number of years, had some glory, and it know looks unlikely that NRL will be played in Melbourne next season.
Sound familiar?
