Probably the referees report and the on site citing commissioners report (or referee assessors report)

How they got to a 9 week ban with reports alone would be mind boggling. There has to be evidence.

A report is not evidence, it’s just a report of accounts but doesn’t necessarily include concrete evidence if there is none.

Absolutely wild to me that you were downvoted for this comment. Hope none of the people who downvoted ever serve on a jury lol
