Tsunami 10,219 Posted February 26, 2015 Where does this leave Darcy regards getting a team spot (and visa) when the ban is served? Didn't there used to be a rule that a rider who was part of a 1-7 at the end of a season could not be re-introduced into that 1-7 during the following season? No there isn't. A rider can be reintroduced back into a team with the MC's approval. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PHILIPRISING 7,298 Posted February 26, 2015 Which I imagine Mr Nilsson took into account. And judged wholly appropriate. Agree Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 26, 2015 So where's the bit about the test being done wrong and the off-duty policeman? #MiddloIsAJoke You tell us. You seem to be the major waffler this afternoon with 2 posts in the space of 4 minutes, including the pointless one above. O like to keep you interested....!

John Leslie 3,213 Posted February 26, 2015 So Poole have got until 27 June to throw a few matches, and get the averages down, so that Janowski can be booted out and Ward take his place in time for the run-in to the play-offs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) I think that is the good thing, so he knows where he stands and although its in reality a 4 month ban during the season it sufficiently messes up his season so it will hopefully act as a deterent for him and others After the ban is over he should then be left to get on with his career as he will have served his ban. Only time will tell whether its been enough to teach him a lesson Lets hope there is no appeal eh ? You have seen this at the bottpm of the FIM statement? An appeal against the decision of the CDI may be lodged by the parties before the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Lausanne (Switzerland) within 21 days of the date of receipt of the full reasoned CDI decision.

Red Panda 366 Posted February 26, 2015 Poole fielding an illegal rider. Kicked out of the EL. Coventry promoted to Champions. At the time he rode he was not riding illegally................yes his points will be deducted not that it will make a huge difference and nothing can be done about that now................I think he only rode 2 matches scoring low points during that time................ Why should Poole be penalised for something that they had no involvement in.............it was an FIM event not a club event.............. RP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
500cc 309 Posted February 26, 2015 I do find that part of the judgement a little odd given that the FIM could and probably should have suspended him immediately but did not do so, In effect he carried on riding and his clubs carried on using him with their tacit approval. I think that says more about the sport than the FIM. The FIM were checking things like if the off-duty police officer was really qualified because they are a responsible organisation. The sport of Speedway just carried on merrily oblivious to what had happened. He could have been suspended whilst under investigation. Speedway's choice. Not saying its right or wrong, but that wasn't tacit approval. As a sport though it needs a (nother) kick up the backside to operate in the real world. The sport had the right to let him ride whilst under investigation, but shouldn't bleat afterwards that has performances during that period are now nullified. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gavan 5,050 Posted February 26, 2015 10 month ban is fairly acceptable though he has got off lightly. Lets hope it's a wake up call but I doubt it 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weatherwatcher 664 Posted February 26, 2015 What a total and utter farce. Should have got the full 2 years. This gives out no warnings at all. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Re-paragraph 2, Poole new he had failed a test. Whilst Poole shouldn't be penalised for that, they have to accept the ranifications linked to back-dating an offence. But where is the BSPA on this one? Ward was replaced by guests after the suspension. Prior to that I suspect he would have been charged with withholding services and Poole forced to ride a PL six pointer (or whatever that exact rule is).

pugwash 3,208 Posted February 26, 2015 So Poole have got until 27 June to throw a few matches, and get the averages down, so that Janowski can be booted out and Ward take his place in time for the run-in to the play-offs. It was a Matt Ford cunning plan all along. Aug 16th 2014, MF said to DW 'How do you feel about getting banned for the first few month's next season and then we can manipulate the averages'. DW said 'Cheers, don't mind if I do'. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
