Membership has its privileges....

The PDGA is an association. We are members. We are held to a code of conduct that has nothing to do with the law (or does not have to.)

Like any other association, the NBA, the NRA, the PTA....they may enforce sanctions for conduct violations that are completely seperate from but concurrent to any civil or criminal charges.

It's not double jeopardy. It's an association that you chose to join and agreed to follow its statutes.

It's likely more members would be suspended if the PDGA did more following and investigation of its members' behaviour.

Comes with the territory (on both sides.)
