Lance Collard's suspension for homophobic slur reduced to two weeks

AFL player Lance Collard's suspension for using a homophobic slur was reduced to two weeks on appeal, following a four-week initial ban. The appeal board deemed the original penalty 'manifestly excessive' and acknowledged Collard's difficult background. St Kilda expressed disappointment over the upheld charge but welcomed the reduction in his sanction.
