Sings4Speedway 3,247 Posted September 12, 2023 Does the 2 year suspension just apply to first offences? If Boxall has failed to provide a negative specimen for a second time is there a possibility he will face a lengthier ban? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FromBendThree 145 Posted September 12, 2023 1 hour ago, wtf said: It would certainly seem from their statement that the ban length was a compromise to cover up the fact that the procedures were not followed to the letter in a quid pro quo. From the solicitors website: Evidence for both parties was put forward and the SCB failed to call the person who carried out the drug test. This denied us the opportunity to cross-examine her on the procedures followed that day.‘ i find it strange that SCB did not call the tester as a witness. Why would that happen?

hammer1969 421 Posted September 12, 2023 Out of interest who actually carries out the test, is it the medical people in attendance or the referee or an independent person employed solely to do the test. Also how do they choose who to test, anyone know? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The rules are in place to protect the individual and or those around them , other riders or spectators. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DazS 430 Posted September 14, 2023 they are not protecting anyone. they want you to believe they are.speedway is a dangerous sport, the lads do it because they want to and you watch it because you want to. i am still looking for a drug related accident in speedway.
