i'm torn about super harsh penalties.
on the one hand, since so very few are caught, i think you need a big deterrent. a lifetime ban makes sense in that context.
on the other, no matter how careful you are you occasionally wind up with amateur who legitimately made a mistake or took some off-brand vitamin that was tainted. sure, it's on him to know, but there are degrees of guilt.
if i had to decide, i'd choose to throw a few babies out with the bathwater....but what if one of us were the baby? maybe it's not so simple.
