2ndbendbeerhut 1,781 Posted April 30, 2018 But rules state he has to miss 7 days... Rule 16.5.1 h to be precise Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Najjer 2,889 Posted April 30, 2018 3 minutes ago, Stainlesssteelride said: The rule says he can't race for 7 days. Or has that rule changed? Perhaps it has been 7 days? Just because he didn't ride at the weekend, doesn't mean the 7 days started from Friday, if the rule that you're quoting is correct. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stainlesssteelride 106 Posted April 30, 2018 The rule stats 7 days from the date of the meeting,, not from the first day of illness. So he shouldn't be racing until after next Saturday. Typical speedway, full of rule benders and cheats. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I read he was unavailable because of a family illness - not necessarily him! So compassionate leave which probably isn't covered by that rule. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe Lakeside should have worded it to say that he was on compassionate leave then.That would have stopped all of this,because as it stands with that statement he should not ride for 7 days. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So why not just put on compassionate grounds in the first place I think everyone accepts that around births and deaths etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TonyE 822 Posted April 30, 2018 Everyone seems very eager to get a rider a seven day ban. No doubt the Aces management will enquire as to the validity of his inclusion tonight. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
