Sounds to me like he never served the initial suspension and should get a bare minimum of another 45 day suspension, and probably much more. But, this is racing, where nobody needs follow the rules because they never really get punished.

In addition to the 14 days, he got a $25,000 fine.

Thanks. In my personal opinion it isn't even close to enough. The guy has only recently served a seven day ban. I'm probably wrong but it feels like he is laughing at the system.
