tbh if you start tolerating it because it was a shit punch it makes an already grey area that much messier and brings a nasty culture into the peloton.
The shitstorm over Sagan getting expelled last year being point in case. Or Grivko punching Kittel and getting a ban. http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/uci-bans-grivko-for-punching-kittel-in-the-face/
That Sky chose not to appeal it or argue against it says to me they know it's indefensible, as much as it obviously doesn't stop others trying.
