I can't imagine why it would take so long to figure out a "punishment." Unless, of course, lawyers are slinging threats back and forth.

The only reasonable explanation I can come up with is that the ITF wants to dole out the decision/punishment in the off season so as not to interfere with the rest of Serena's season on the WTA tour-- which of curse is not part of the ITF, unlike the Slams.

Imagine the media circus in Doha if it were already announced that she would not be allowed to play the AO.
