This is a good idea and I hope to see a result to send a message.
However I am disappointed it's this one Incident which is getting so much coverage when players are diving every week in Europe and their respective leagues. There is only one other case of a player getting suspended for diving.

I don't think its a route the authorities wanted to go down, but if they get a result on this test case it could lead to something being done about it. I'm sure a player on every team has dived at one point or other and with such high stakes. One goal in Champions League money is £50m+, Premiership £30m+.
The assistant refs help the full ref come to a descision during the match. I really can't see why the 4th official, who has a lot of AV equiptment in front of him, can't help as well.
