False dawn 2,298 Posted September 5, 2023 If the authorities catch 2 riders having tested only 4 on this occasion, it's fair to assume there could be more testing on the way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neither Worrall or Boxall are riding. Given the Morris situation you’d think they’d be so careful. It’s madness. Boxhall should never be allowed near a speedway track again especially. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

False dawn 2,298 Posted September 5, 2023 It's so annoying. Leicester had just started to recover from the period of disruption that started with the Nick Morris situation. And now this. Talk about self inflicted wounds, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Money that the sport doesn't have (IMO). Random testing with severe punishments is the next best thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In heats where he meets himself it would be explosive. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
