An Australian netball team has been hit with a $300,000 fine and stripped of premiership points after severe salary cap breaches were exposed.
West Coast Fever, from Perth, made payments of $127,954 above the cap in 2018 and $168,659 over the salary ceiling in 2019.

That equates to 19.7 per cent over the limit in 2018, when the club reached their maiden grand final, and 25.3 per cent over in 2019 when they finished sixth.
Half the $300,000 fine has been suspended for three years, to be paid if the club flouts the Total Player Payment rules again within that time.
