Suspension involves no guilt or innocence - it is not a punishment. It is avoiding embarrassment to all concerned.

In this case, the fans (home and away) and other players will be suspicious of those involved. Stanley fans will wonder how many times Cavanagh, for example, has been involved in betting against his own team - and they may reflect on events such as own goals that we can recall. It would be far better to suspend those invloved and keep them away from any potential embarrassment.

As I said, that would happen in any other profession. It does NOT assume guilt.
