But what would a similar timeline mean if they were weighing the case of someone active? Someone like Benn. This is when we look to UKAD again and with the added question of whether they are fit for purpose, because that is what they must prove.
His adventures have cultivated him a large social media following and he was even interviewed by disgraced influencer Andrew Tate - prior to his arrest on money laundering and people smuggling charges. Tate has since been released on house arrest.
If we look at the sanctioning list on their website, it shows 39 athletes currently serving a ban. Of them, 12 play rugby league. They are guys like Rob Oakley, who played a few games for London Broncos in the second tier. And Russell Spiers, Midlands Hurricanes.
Third tier.
In Sunday's final, Carballes Baena -- who has one ATP tourney win, the Ecuador Open in February 2018 -- will take on Alexandre Muller.
The Frenchman defeated Pavel Kotov of Russia 7-6 (3), 7-5. Muller has yet to win on the ATP Tour.
Both players held serve throughout the third set until the tiebreaker, when Ruud went up 3-0 by breaking Halys twice. Ruud won one of the next two points on his serve to go up 4-1.
Halys held serve to pull within 4-2, but Ruud broke his serve again and served out the match.
'I realise I hadn't had an education, and I tried some side jobs, 9-5 jobs and none of it worked. So I did a bit of study on how to work in something you love. That was social media, and it's really started to take off in the last year.'
In the video - which has been watched more than a million times - Miles is seen firing the weapon indiscriminately into the sand flanked by grinning members of the Taliban, or as Miles calls them: 'Good guys.'
Other clips of his trips to the country showed him blasting automatic rifles with a Taliban fighter and visiting a weapons market in the city of Jalalabad, a stronghold for terrorists affiliated to Islamic State.
They need to show it in pursuing this matter, whether that means establishing Benn's claim to innocence or his guilt.
They need to do it before he finds his way to another ring via some creative paperwork.
They were sanctioned a week apart last month and there was no great risk of a killer bite if the cases took a wrong turn — to go by the estimates from an agent in that area, the average second-tier player might earn £30,000 a year.
That is what makes Khan's two-year ban quite interesting, because he earned about £5million on the night of February 19, 2022, when he lost to Kell Brook and then gave a post-fight sample that was positive for ostarine.
Pay of that scale makes Khan a shark. Just like Conor Benn is a shark, which we will revisit shortly. You lose to a shark and the damage can be severe, especially when you have a budget of £11m a year to cover all sports and sharks have expensive lawyers.
Miles was forced to beg for money to continue the trip online - which he said was used for charity work in Kabul instead - while posting self-serving status updates about how his life has been 'ruined'.
That might just about work with a retired fighter. And no doubt Khan can live with it, especially as my understanding is he has not been asked to pay back his purse, which is not the obligatory process it would be in sensible sports.

They were not the testing authority who twice found clomifene in Benn's system — that was the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association, which thereby introduced more loopholes for resourceful lawyers and a promoter in Hearn who famously sang VADA's praises when it suited him, but is now dancing in the grey areas of conflicting jurisdictions.
The shock wasn't because a prominent fighter had been found with drugs in his system — that is common enough. It's what we've come to expect from a sport that doesn't give much of a damn. But the progression from finding to sanction and the testing agency that administered it?
That was less typical.
And go back he did. In April 2022, he claimed to have invested £15,000 in a trip to the Taliban-controlled country to rescue a tour guide and his family - but accused the guide of pulling out at the last minute, leaving him stuck.
What they must not do is sit by idly and let it go away, as seemingly happened when this newspaper brought them the extraordinary claims in 2020 of a farmer who alleged he had been bribed into giving Tyson Fury a boar-based alibi for doping a few years earlier.
The Taliban PR is not an official mouthpiece of the country's rulers but have been posting about Routledge since March 15 and first suggested he was last seen in an area close to the Chinese border on March 6.
