Although it may be his right to appeal, I don't believe that he should. He has acted in an unprofessional manner, and should restore some of his credibility by accepting the penalty.
All top level Australian sports persons are continually reminded of their obligations and responsibilities with drug control - they are even issued with a card with a 24 hour drug hotline so that they can check the status ( banned or otherwise ) of any drug they may wish to take.
If any lower penalty is won via an appeal it would make a mockery of Australian sports anti-doping policies.
