1 valve 558 Posted June 27, 2023 (edited) Maybe, the story goes like this. Artem rides Thursday at KL but gets a knock which looks like will put him out of Sundays meeting in Poland and Monday night at Wolves. KL promotion books guest replacement "Bomber", who lives nearby and is something of a Monmore track specialist(?) Wolves print their programme. But then, for Artem, good news, he makes a quicker than expected recovery enabling him to ride in Poland - happy days! Except, it is now realised it means he is fit to ride in UK (whoops) so not needing any more money cuz he's done ok in Poland he looks for a way out? Strangely, he doesn't go down the "aggravated the ankle injury route" which would mean he can ride as soon as he's fit do so, but instead opts for the "upset stomach" option meaning a 7 day rest (sorry ban) and cant travel to UK for Mondays meeting. One promoter (maybe) happy because now he doesn't have a big wage to pay and also as Artem has provided a sick note he's clearly not "witheld his services" and thus avoids a 28 day ban. Not sure the SCB (who the BSPA are accountable to) can do anything about it - but there again, Maybe Artem did have an upset stomach after all?

Gave him a 6 month ban through the winter months so he was good to go come mid March? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With the added bonus that if you do, you seemingly can officially go on forums and have an opinon on how the sport is ran... what does officially really mean though, its a bull sht word for authority.

stevehone 3,430 Posted June 27, 2023 Was anyone watching the Peterborough meeting on tv last night and in one of the ‘break’ bits they must have left the mics on because you hear Scott Nicholls say “I know that but I can’t say it on here” …. hmmmmm 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
