One whole year. What a punishment. Now they'll have to sign when they're 17. What a joke of a punishment. What happens in the US when you commit fraud? You go to jail. This has been happening for 15 years already. If you lie about your age or name, you should be ineligible to play period. Makes you wonder how many others are out there that they didn't catch. I played with 7 in one season before. A joke. Wow. One whole year. What a punishment. Now they'll have to sign when they're 17. What a joke of a punishment.
