There were actually a handful of others that were cleaner than Weaver that received the punishment. It was Landis drawing a line in the sand.

No I agree with you on why Buck was banned, I just think it was too harsh. Granted Landis had to make a point, but I think his point was made when he banned the other guilty 7. Buck should have been reinstated. The decision by Landis was made after Buck did, or didn't do what he did. You can still set the precedent going forward that anyone with knowledge will be banned. Just too harsh in my opinion.
