Runs a bit deeper than that in terms of token fines rather than bans. For example 4 teams have been fined token amounts of money over the last 10 years for missing drugs tests as a squad (ie: not where they are supposed to be) and the most recent fine for this was a PL team who were find £35000 - how can that be a disincentive for a club to managing their doping policy with the rigour needed for a doping policy to actually be implemented. Interesting titbit from this is of the most recent 4 top flight (across Europe) fines for teams missing doping test, three were managed by the same fella - coincidence? Probably but statistically highly unlikely.
Then you move on to the Fuentes case in Spain - ithere was a huge doping ring in spain smashed by authorities and in court witnesses took down Dr's, athletes, Cyclists etc; but really interestingly despite multiple references to institutional football doping, there didn't seem to be an appetite in spain to look under that hood. This was at the time Barca were at their peak, Spain were winning major tournaments and Real were winning CLs - simply there wasn't the desire to take them down despite evidence being offered, WADA have continually question why the Spanish legal system roadblocked the investigation, one suspects the answer is football.
To link the two above points, I mentioned that one manager was in charge of 3 of the major fines for missing tests, he was also in charge of primary spanish teams at the time of these cases and incredibly, while managing today, still uses the same Dr who were overseeing doping programs of athletes according Fuentes case & also tested positive for Nandrolone twice as a player.
My point in all of this is the evidence is probably in front of us, but football simply has too much money involved to fail, so it as an industry will continue to push barriers as far as it can, know there are token fines and protection there to help from governing bodies and states.
