Another thing that I would like to see is the team step forward and issue a public apology for the behavior of one of it's members. I believe it is not clear if the team knew or if it was one person working alone, which is something I think needs to be resolved. I know that there are deep risks associated with a team and program being tainted by this reputation exist, but similarly to above I have no doubt that the information will eventually come out and it is always better to be proactive then reactive. Additionally there is a great deal of speculation that the person was associated with one of the Einstein teams, and if that is the case, at a minimum, they should absolutely not accept the waved entry fee into next years championship.
While what I am suggesting may be interpreted as "not GP" I want to remind folks that it is neither gracious or professional to not have personal accountability from your actions.
