    Absolutely. However,  it is worth considering that if SW managed to completely flush out his system in the time between the two tests, then more than likely, what was detected on Tuesday would have been residual from something substantial in his system when he rode at Wolverhampton the previous evening. 

    What's it got to do with SW ?

    From what I know about drug testing.

    You pee into a sterilised container while being watched. The sample is divided into two.

    Sample A and Sample B

    In the Olympics etc samples are sent to the lab for testing.

    If A is positive the competitor can choose to have B tested( maybe in a different lab ?)

    Obviously at Speedway when they have sample they do a diptest of A if it comes up non negative then Sample B is sent to a lab for testing. 

    Some drugs both medical and recreational can leave detectable traces in your system for weeks never mind days.

    As an example when we had paper banknotes if you did a finger swab of anyone who worked in an environment where lots of notes were handled. Most would show traces of Cocaine.

    With an ankle injury probably wants a smooth track. 

    Do people actually take the pairs seriously then, I always thought it was just a bit of a joke tbh. 

    So why didn't Poole put a fit rider in.

    Ben Cook is a great little rider. His brother ain't too shabby. Why not use Zach, Kyle or Anders at least those three are actual racers.


  3. It would have to be a monsoon for it to be called off. App I use has no rain after 11am today. 

    Amazes me that all these weather Apps use the same information and all usually give different forecasts.

    There was some heavy showers from 3am but none since 6:30. I'm about a mile from the track.

    It looks like Birmingham's easy option rather than to sign a permanent replacement for Nick Morris was to book Josh Pickwickering for as many of the remaining fixtures as possible (except for the meeting up in Edinburgh of course) - A semi-permanent guest #1 kind of arrangement kind of thing is probably better than having someone different every meeting.

    Little known fact

    Charles Dickens favourite Speedway rider was Josh Pickwickering. 

    I read it in the papers.

    If you are not giving yourself every opportunity to do well in your chosen sport, you only have yourself to blame if you don’t do as well as you could. Why have that kebab after a meeting when you could have prepared a chicken salad a few hours earlier? 

    I remember being at Subway in Poole and Darcy Ward came in. He ordered a green leaf salad. Had the knowledge to eat healthily. Want to stay healthy or lose weight? Stay off carbs and processed foods. Carbs especially. 

    I'm so old I can remember the stories of a former Poole rider  apparently sitting in the kiddies train at Macdonalds after Poole meetings

    Bullets travel to Oxford on Wednesday, with r/r at #1 for Connor Coles, and Ben Trigger guesting for Greg Blair at #3.

    Mason Watson will take over as captain.

     

     

    What's wrong with the man off the telly ?

    You really have a self entitled attitude as have a few off your self entitled fellow fans.

    Oxford do what is best for Oxford it’s as simple as that , not what can we do to get one over Poole.

    The arrogance really is why other fans can’t stand Poole or some of there fans.

    Plus SS hasn't been on to post yet.

    They sound worried. In the article it says it is to assure 1st place. Even though they are ahead of us and got the BP, nice to see we can still scare teams into changes :D

    It says we want to finish top as you also want your team too.

    Be honest whoever finishes second is lumbered with Glasgow and Redcar.

    Also gains the club an asset that even your promoters/manager would love to have onboard.

    Imagine being top and still changing the team because you are worried about everyone else. 

    What like the Poo Pirates do every year 

    Maybe as the self proclaimed biggest club in Britain you shouldve gazumped everyone and signed him to replace Adam Roynon

  10. When the original meeting was called off and the new date announced. I messaged an old boy who I occasionally get tickets for as he's unable too. He said he couldn't make the restaging date so I replied to the email the club had sent requesting a refund. Got the refund in a couple of days.

    I feel far too many are quick to criticise all the ticketing arrangements.

    What’s the story with Lawson and his dad not getting on?

    Firstly is it anyone's business except theirs ?

    Secondly as I don't know what the falling out is over, myself being 21 and a fair bit. I'd guess its pretty similar to other falling out of family members I've heard about over the years.

    Minor disagreement about something that in the big scheme of things is pretty much something and nothing.

    Disagreement ends when one party unfortunately passes away, then the surviving party spends the rest of their life turning the whys and wherefores over and over in their head

    Indeed he would...

    A different level to many riding today..

    Was it sixth in the world he got to? 

    Most tracks didn't suit him given his lack of starting capability...

    Didn't pull out of meetings though, instead just used his talent to compete...

     

    Piotr Swist and Billy the Bullet thought he was a big boy till he did his Alice in Wonderland move on them
