Agree,Athletics are the same but the difference being these are for long term use use eg.Asthma inhaler and have exemption term of at least a year and require testing by doctors or hospitals.Trouble is majority of these medicines has substances which are on a banned list ,even pain killers .Like you say authorities AND riders need to be aware of what they are taking in event of illness etc.

Josh sounded quite positive about returning soon when interviewed on Fri.

The cause of the failed drug test was not announced because obviously they did not know at the time .That is what Wolves said, while he did fail a sample they did say they would await the outcome.

Rumours as usual.like I said.

The only thing made public on the night was family emergency ,it was fans doing 2+2.

Unbelievable ,decent track destroyed for no good reason, surely behind the scenes somebody knew the real story on what was going on at Council.

90% of the time he pulls a locker opens the throttle wide and hopes the bike is pointing the right way. IMO

Most decent riders use their 1st race to weight up track conditions.Then there’s Bates.

Not as big a liability as Bates ,he’s injured every couple of weeks .

Schlein came to Sheilfield with Ipswich ,slick track 18pt max,guested for Glasgow few weeks later dirt on track 7 from 5 not interested.Probably was on guarantee.

Schlein is a reason people fans don’t attend anymore, paying good money to watch him not try a leg when it doesn’t suit, but getting plenty money to ride slick tracks which is all he can do.

Are we wanting rid of him? Personally he flatters to deceive, very inconsistent IMO

Is he injured.?

Old Meadowbank one of the finest tracks ever ,was round a football pitch.Leith Athletic’s ground.

The rider turned up though and was not allowed to ride.

Because they did not have a guest ,is the obvious answer.A guest or R/r were the options.

You don’t really believe the “family incident story”.He either refused a drugs or failed a drugs test on the night is nearer the truth

Far too many bad crashes these days.Or is it my imagination

Think it will be R/r no good paying a guest to get a thumping.

Glasgow maybe

Think there is a bit more than being told at present.Imo

We will soon be using the 5 day forecast.

There is a worrying trend from Promotions just to tell the public a load of Bullsh#t these days, when really they just have to tell the truth it does not help the credibility of such Promotions.There has been no explanation regarding Howarth yet apart from the” family emergency “ yet,so we will have to wait and see. Bullsh#t and Mushrooms fans favourite food these days
