I don't think the result is the issue. Don't think any dispute he's had something in his system legal or otherwise. It's whether the bspl are accepting of his explanation or not that is what's probably causing the delay imo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lenny Lion 138 Posted August 8, 2022 (edited) Ben failed a drugs test & will be banned so he is not losing earnings nor can he have any claim to compensation. The B sample taken is merely to dictate what illegal substance was in his system to then decide what form of punishment will be handed to Ben. If its recreational or performance enhancing drugs then his ban will be much longer then if it was an excess or banned painkillers. Some painkillers are banned in sport on safety grounds due to side effects such as drowsiness which is far from safe & endangering the other 3 riders on the track at the time so it’s reckless to sign into a meeting as safe to ride if you have taken such strong painkillers which won’t go in Ben’s favour.

lbw 869 Posted August 8, 2022 (edited) Anyone competing in sport should av a liddle common sense to check that even if they take a cold medicine it doesn't contain anything on the banned list. Surely it's as simple as asking the speedway powers that be or the organisation that deals with sport testing can I use a certain product for example a cold. Not rocket science is it?

Triple.H. 1,986 Posted August 9, 2022 9 hours ago, Fromafar said: He’s not innocent though he failed a standard test. He didn't fail a standard test, his test was not negative. That may well be beaurocratic nonsense. But he hasn't tested positive or negative until the results of the tests are proven and publicised. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
