_I've heard_ that it was a mix of the bug abusers getting kicked alongside 'inactives' (who were then roided).
I suppose, if this is true it does improve Ely's image, as kicking inactives make it look like they aren't just keeping them tagged on for the score.
Then again, kicking a previously active player who's likely to return then letting your biggest guy take free roids from him isn't too moral. Yet I don't pretend to _know_ what's going on, it's just what I've heard
