Along with the reprimand, one demerit level has been added to Gurbaz’s disciplinary file, his first offence within the 24-month interval.

Stage 1 breaches carry a minimal penalty of an official reprimand, a most penalty of fifty per cent of a participant’s match price, and one or two demerit factors
