Quoteworthy:

"Despite being suspended from competition until July 5, 2008, the suspension will have no bearing on Franca being able to corner fighters. Hermes stressed the importance of being able to corner his fighters to the commission and the commission ruled that the suspension will have no affect on him obtaining a corner-man's license."
