It's a baffling double standard.

In terms of the sport, it is.
If you're taking something on the banned substance list potentially you're gaining an unfair advantage over your opponents who aren't doing that. It's dishonest and it's cheating. & If athletes are cheating that brings the integrity of the sport into disrepute so they should get hefty punishments imo. Plus it can affect outcomes & have massive financial implications.
Punching your fiancee in a casino has nothing to do with the sport really.
