    Anyone know what's going on?

    CVS insists we're not riding next year but Entain have told the Express and Star that they're not running an extra day of dogs next year!

    That doesn't mean that they are prepared for the speedway to continue though.

    very good question, they would do it in a car accident, finding a trace of anything would not prove they are under the influence of that substance, 

    Where would you draw the line? Plus you'd require the Independent testers to stay for the duration of each meeting just in case which clearly they'd want paying for

    I believe the roof etc are asbestos so I would think nobody would want to reuse but be removed and destroyed by specialists. 

    The rules surrounding demolition and planning permission are pretty complex, if there is asbestos or anything that could be considered unsafe then pp would be required

    They don't, but you can probably get a good idea from the length of the ban. If it's not intentional and for something like painkillers, they'll probably just get something like an 8-month ban (like Ben Barker) and they'll be able to ride next season. If they end up getting a two-year ban, then you know it's more serious.

    Yes fair comment

    I'm afraid he was...on the fourth bend both leading riders passed the coasting Douglas before they had had time to respond to the red light. Douglas had clearly retired from the race and should no way have been allowed into the rerun.

    Before they had time to respond to the red light isn't when the red light comes on

    There used to have to be a track doctor at every meeting. I don't know if there still is. Or maybe the home club pays for one for 2 hours a meeting to do/ over see the tests the tests. I dunno, like i say  i ain't got a clue about drug testing. :)

    Anti doping is carried out by a 3rd party agency, you don't get the track Doctor or Neil Vatcher with a chemistry kit that's why it's expensive

     This type of test is so cheap every rider could take one. It says it's 99% accurate, and tests for 10 drugs. The lab fee could be paid by the ride via a fine if proved guilty in the lab test. Before i get shot down, i don't know anything about drug testing, but are these much different from the pee test ones they use at meetings?

    So someone from the testing agency has to be at every single meeting staged, then how do you ensure that 14 riders do their sample without outside influence/tampering? Presumably they need to be held in a zone until all tests are completed etc given speedways facilities I'd imagine that's going to be very difficult.
