Seeing as we don't know what happened, that would be hard to say. Obviously they are hiding something when the volunteered to take a BAC test. It buys them some time and tries too hard to prove their innocence. This means we definitely cannot trust a word they say now or in the future. That is why I hope that they can never fly more than a kite.
That said, if the had come clean the minute they landed, we could evaluate whether it was their fault or not and take the necessary actions. If it was because they had an especially difficult 2 weeks, perhaps a few months suspension would be in order. In the meantime, revamp the scheduling so it doesn't happen to other pilots. If they were partying for 3 nights in a row before that flight, that would be a different story.
So lets say I would be more willing to listen to mitigation and returning them to the air after disciplinary action were taken.
