NASCAR explains why Kurt Busch is still suspended

A NASCAR spokesman further clarified why Kurt Busch remains indefinitely suspended during an appearance Friday on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
The Delaware Attorney General's office declined to charge Busch Thursday morning for domestic assault citing "insufficient" evidence. Patricia Driscoll, Busch's ex-girlfriend, alleges Busch grabbed her and slammed her head against the wall three times in an incident last September in his motor home at Dover International Speedway.
However, despite Busch not facing criminal charges, NASCAR stated Thursday afternoon and reiterated Friday that the 2004 Cup champion is still banned and must complete the terms and conditions the sanctioning body outlined in his suspension. Busch twice appealed the suspension, but lost both times.
...
Higdon did say NASCAR officials have spoken with Busch since Thursday's ruling and Busch plans to follow the guidelines NASCAR set forth to gain reinstatement. There is no timetable for when Busch's suspension will be lifted and Higdon did not elaborate on the conditions Busch must meet.
In a statement released Thursday, Busch said he "looks forward to being back in racing as soon as possible and moving on with my life."'

New standard: Guilty upon accusation
And who knows when or if he'll ever get "forgiveness" for a crime he was never charged with. Well, everyone knows one can be guilty of a crime but never charged with it for lack of evidence. But tell me: Is it cricket for a non-gov'tal entity, incl. an employer, to play judge-jury-punisher if they feel the gov't hasn't done what they believe they ought to have when involving a question of criminal action?
Think of it this way: An accusation of a criminal act outside of the workplace is sufficient to get you sacked from your job even if the law's decided there isn't sufficient evidence to bring charges. No one (male, anyway) is safe.
