How many would gladly trade a 30 day vacation for that. In your scenario it works because of the structure in place in those countries.
Why can't there be a reform and build a central authority? All the counterpoints I've read are basically showing the flaws in the North American system compared to the organization in other major jurisdictions. Sure, they have their own flaws, but much fewer and less major. And, this would then make things uniform globally!

I rarely hear about jockey suspensions in USA, and I'm not up to speed with the latest ones. But, the 25 day ban of the Australian jockey that I mentioned in the other thread prevented him from riding an odds-on fav in an international G1 in Hong Kong, let alone G1s in his own country. If Saez was banned from CD, would he be allowed to ride elsewhere?
