Correct JJ. He's already been banned for 6 months thus losing any win bonuses. There is no guarantee that he'll get back in the team in any case, thus losing further bonuses, as others may grab their own opportunity in Ben's absence. He's been punished enough.
I hope he has a decent trade union because losing half your salary for 3 months is a hell of a lot. These guys aren't on that much money anyway to start with. They are not professional footballers.
He's being punished twice for the one 'crime'. I'm afraid this is simply unfair.
