The Adebayor one was staggering. They introduced “fast track” hearings that very week and banned him for one of a variety of reasons. An incident that he’d been booked for that the referee then claimed not to have seen, time wasting whilst celebrating a goal despite the fact that no
player in the history of the game got back into his own half quicker, didn’t leave the pitch and didn’t make any obscene gestures or for scoring in every league match of the season up until a Manchester derby.
I believe we know the real reason.
