I did not approve. But in the end it somehow feels like there is a difference between using an eye medicin and using steroids. So I don't think a long suspension had been in order. A much worse example of how the drug "business" in the IOC/WADA works is that Javier Sotomayor, the world record holder in high jump, got his cocain-abuse suspension cut from 2 years to 3 months just in time to be able to compete in the Sydney olympics. Kinda sad, I can't watch the olympics really anymore, all you do is to sit and wonder if the athlete who is winning is a cheater.
I wonder how many "clean" guys there are in the NHL if they did regular real tests, not too many I'd guess.
