Seems fair enough to me. They only applied for a tue after he'd failed two tests...
It seems a genuine accident, but for no one to check the banned list when they got some WiFi signal seems pretty sloppy. This kind of punishment incentives athletes and their teams to be better at this stuff, without ruining their career. -
He purchased a racing license that said "don't do a thing" and "did that thing". He could have not raced afterwards to recover from a limb threatening injury but chose to. He let a doc use a drug on him that even I vaguely know is not allowed but "phone signal".

Martin Maes getting banned for 90 days is a shambles when it was prescribed by the doctors at a race and the original antibiotics didnt work. Just crap from the UCI
UCI is one rule for one and another for another.
