Do you think lifetime bans will deter would be dopers? I'm not so sure about that ... Perhaps the main benefit would be preventing a known cheater from returning to the sport?
Unfortunately, I have to agree with Paul about the Excuse Machine.
Fort, I would assume that the risk/reward calculations being done would come out differently if the punishment is lifetime ban versus 2 years. I know mine would but maybe I'm in the minority. Then again, if one KNOWS that they can't make it without doping, it might not matter.
