From what the media has reported its been negotiated with the club lawyer over the fact it appears any wrong doing was not deliberate from the players.
Of course the media is not exactly trustworthy and isn't above just making shit up.
considering it has been made clear by ASADA time and time again that ignorance is NOT an excuse, I hardly think they would then suddenly decide it IS actually an excuse worthy of a 75% reduction in sentence.
Much more likely they have a flimsy case, but part of this carrot of a smaller 6 month ban would involve them signing various statements to help build a better case against bigger fish (or to at least get SOME sort of ban on the books after the tremendous statements these jackasses made at their national press conference to announce their super secret investigation)
