Now both of those proposals, relate to criminal law.  Criminal
law is reserved for governments, not the FEI.

While it is true that incarceration is not within the purview of the FEI
(or other non-governmental agencies), fines are well within its rights.
They, of course, cannot compel the person who was fined to pay, but they
can refuse entry in further events until a fine is paid.  USEF does this
all the time.  Until a member pays ALL of their outstanding debts
associated with prior USEF competitions (including entry fees, bounced
checks and any imposed fines), they are considered "not in good
standing" and may not participate (they aren't even allowed on the
competition grounds).

If they try to get away with competing while not in good standing, there
are additional fines and suspensions for doing that.

The FEI could fine rule breakers if they wanted to.

However, in this particular case, considering the financial position of
the rule offender, I doubt that a fine would make much difference
(except as a revenue generator for the FEI???).
