Toughest sporting punishment ever? (rugby league-centric)

Lucien [Edit] [Delete] 15:09, 22 April '10

Melbourne Storm rugby league team stripped of two premiership titles, lose all current points, cannot score any further points this season, because of salary cap breach.

For people who are unfamiliar with it, it would have to be one of the physically toughest sporting comps in the world – 24 consecutive weeks being smashed around on hard Australian grounds followed by another month of finals – to get stripped of two seasons of that would be amazingly gutting for any players innocent of involvement.
