MilhouseZmarzlik 43 Posted September 5, 2023 Maybe we're at the point where we should stop the testing and let riders do what they want. I know I can do most things better under the influence. And look at George Best/Maradona, prime examples 1 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MartinBSN 617 Posted September 5, 2023 4 hours ago, iainb said: Can you imagine any other broadcast organisation ignoring the story electing to talk about the weather instead? After all they have an expert in the matter in Ben Barker on comms The information did not come to light until 3 minutes before we went on air. At that point there was no official statement, we were simply informed they had been removed on medical grounds. Once the SCB statement was released we made sure to read it to inform the fans. Anything prior to that is speculation and we are not looking to get into that. So yes, any other broadcast organisation would have done exactly that, went by the book not rumour. 33 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At the end of the day it is down to the rider to know what they are taking legally/illegally they are meant to be professional. I assume when taking out a license there is a box or something that says you agree/are aware of drugs policy. If you don’t know ask, Alexa, Google, your team management a Dr. There really isn’t an excuse, if it is pain killers because of an injury should you be riding in the first place? I have seen comments from riders past and present that this is the tip of the iceberg and they could name plenty of other riders using banned substances, so how many officials are also aware of this but turn a blind eye? Yet again though it is the paying fans be it at the track or BSN that are ripped off by these situations, they have paid to view a meeting with a minimum of 12 riders, but have been left with this situation. Would it not be obvious that a rider coming back from a ban for failing a drug test previously, would be “randomly” tested more frequently?! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
