In heats where he meets himself it would be explosive. Artem Laguta wouldn't be very happy with a double threat to his left ankle though 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neither Worrall or Boxall are riding. Probably important to note that a non-negative isn't a positive. It needs to be confirmed by the lab. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
40-38 308 Posted September 5, 2023 Do we know how often these tests provide false positive results? I noticed that it’s reported as non-negative, is that because they need official lab testing in the same way drug and alcohol testing is done by the police?

Happens frequently at my work..they have a drug test are some are non conclusive. They are sent to a lab for a further inspection and usually solves the puzzle. I bet they find white lightning and frosty Jack's in his system .. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, the B sample is lab analysed as it's more accurate. Not 100% sure what the speedway process is but there may also be a review of the lab results by a specialist to see if they are consistent with medications the subject declared Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They might pick up painkillers for example as opiates. It does happen but not often. There have been cases where riders don't get a ban because of meds. Didn't that happen to Kyle Howarth with co codamol? Edited September 5, 2023 by RBThirdbend Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But given the Barker situation last year and the Morris one this year surely you’d be extra careful. It’s not worth the risk is it? I’m sure many riders take painkillers, but is it possible that lots of them might fail a test? Is it a failing in the SCB process? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
