TheReturn 1,724 Posted August 17, 2014 Without knowing the full story I will reserve judgement, but based off his past problems I can't help feeling if this, is as reported, he had a load of drinks then shame on him. Equally, I think all those Poole sycophants, including Middlo who used to defend his past misdemeanours should ask themselves if they had come down harder on a younger Ward, would he still be making this silly stupid mistakes? 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdmc82 2,878 Posted August 17, 2014 He's a disgrace. Wonder how Middlo is going to defend this one. Worst bit was he was willing to put other riders at risk which is terrible. He should get punished for this 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdmc82 2,878 Posted August 17, 2014 Does anyone know what the rules says for a failed alcohol test? Any further consecuences then a ban from this GP? Been said on twitter it could lead to 28 day ban. As its ward though I very much doubt it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Star Lady 5,400 Posted August 17, 2014 No way am I trying to defend the idiot but does anyone know if alcohol tests are normal at GPs or are they random? I guess what I'm asking is did someone see him drinking and reported it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did wonder that too, and to be honest, maybe if that did happen that person as done the best thing for Ward long term. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marko 956 Posted August 17, 2014 Great rider but they need to make an example of him and ban him from all racing for the rest of 2014, it won't affect Poole because i am sure they could get KK or Holder back in his place. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
