    I’m assuming a trackside drug test gives only a positive or negative result. Then a urine or blood test will determine what the substance is. he has been taking painkillers for his injured shoulder. So if that’s on the ok list he is free to carry on. if it’s a painkiller not on the allowed list I’d imagine it’s a short ban or fine however if it’s a recreational drug he is in deep trouble. But we need to remember he is innocent until proven otherwise.

    Why do supporters of any club go to a track that their team isn't racing at? Maybe something to do with enjoying speedway.

    The Poles win in Poland by using oversized engines etc, bikes being wheeled out of the pits and replaced with compliant engines towards the end of meetings. It's well known amongst the Team GB mechanics but nothing is done about it.

    There was a lot to be said for the old 2nd halves not least when a reserve spot in the team could be gained. I've suggested often enough that the old 'rider of the night' should be introduced but with points accumulated over the season with a major prize such as a new bike up for grabs. Make it interesting by awarding bonus points for performances at away tracks or when guesting.

    ...in the "Good Old Days" they were guarenteed two rides in the old lamented second half.

    If that’s true he gets what he deserves if not what your saying is slanderous I think before I wrote that I would have the full facts first unless you were the one doing the drug test

    What a pr!ck, took the go fund me money, and ran the club into the ground with his arrogance and incompetence. Now rips the season ticket holders off, what a legacy he has left.

    You won’t upset me because i have had many daft questions this week and yours is up there with the daftest. The last comp we had different venues for semi’s(Daugavpils ) and the final in Belle Vue. This is a new concept 2 semi’s and the new U21 Son plus the final all in one place- think they don’t want overkill of 2 senior finals and who can blame them !!!

    While it’s a given that advantages are sort by all riders of all nations, over sized engines especially in Poland isn’t one of them and especially at FIM level, another reason is a tuner like kowalski or gravesen ain’t going to risk his business by cheating in a school boy way and then even if they were stupid enough to do that and over sized engine doesn’t automatically mean a faster bike in speedway

    One amalgamated League is the only way forward, may be 6 riders per team ...... riders will have to take it or leave it..... Or a North/South set up.....

    Accommodation booked and paid for. Im going to be there regardless who's riding. Sometimes it's about the sport, not the standard of sport.

    Having worked with UKAD in other sports testing on blood and urine can give accurate results to how long banned substances have been in the system. Let's face it only a complete idiot would take anything on a day they were competing not realising or knowing tests reveal what is already there. Wether speedway authorities wish to act on retrospective info would be another matter. When it comes to doping I do have hard opinions especially when it comes to motorsports. Cheating in say athletics is bad enough but when your judgement is impared and other participants lives are at risk to me that should be a lifetime ban.

    Unless it has changed in the last few years, I can confirm that the riders get a list of items they cant take and the substances they need to look for in OTC medication that they cant take. I got a copy of one from a rider when I was doing my pharmacy exams quite a few years ago

    There is no comparison. Will Bournemouth be fielding a load of players from other clubs? Very silly comment methinks lol

    Was looking at how the Poles have scored points in meetings outside of Poland. Just looking at the Speedway of Nations, I think it proves both of our points. Zmarzlik has been pretty dominant, but the rest of the Poles have definitely struggled. Bartosz Zmarzlik - 129 Rest of Poland - 84 Maciej Janowski 37, Patryk Dudek 23, Dominik Kubera 13, Maksym Drabik 6, Jakub Miskowiak 3, Bartosz Smektala 2

    You should of seen it at the back end of last season when we won our first and only home meeting. You would of thought we had won the league. It is to late for the league, but for me it would be great to win something being a Stars fan. A second leg home win in the cup would at least give these fans something to cheers about, if i's possible Alex and co could of played the season out with what we have, so for me although late, they have done something.
