whereabouts in Flanders

Can someone clue me in on what the State Council decided on the whereabouts rule recently?

Am I right in saying that now the government decides on the application of the rule and the athletes at least now are seemingly free to cheat?

And news about a cheater avoiding 1 of his sanctions apparently because of a decision by the Flanders state council.

So what's going on?
