Drug use and footy players: What’s the real problem?

[jeemak]

Maybe, but I'm responding to the notion that education is the answer. I think it's just part of the answer.
If the numbers of players taking illicit drugs being suggested in the media is close to the mark then education alone won't work unless it's supported by something stronger than a 2 week penalty.

What evidence do you have that suggests a bigger punishment based disincentive would work?

EDIT - sorry, just saw your example around drink driving. I think it's completely different and a conflation separate two separate issues.
