Yes but as the article states...'but a reduction in a ban is only possible in specific circumstances where an athlete has been co-operative'.
I think this is the best hope that Jobe and who knows how many other players/officials can hope for.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.
