Google translation of Sportowefakty article Slag. Drabik's application for retrospective TEU rejected. His patron wants to go to the Tribunal at the Polish Olympic Committee There is a decision of the POLADA disciplinary panel regarding retrospective TEU for Maks Drabik. The application was finally rejected. The representative of the speedway rider is considering referring to the Arbitration Court at the Polish Olympic Committee. Proceedings regarding the retrospective TEU for Drabik completed. Judgment of May 5 Maksym Drabik did not receive a retrospective TEU, which would help him avoid disciplinary proceedings by POLADA regarding the breach of the anti-doping procedure. We would like to remind you that the slag Betard Sparty Wrocław has accepted a half liter of drip, it is prohibited before last year's PGE Ekstraliga final. The speedway lawyer argued to POLADA that it was about saving the health of a competitor who has had chronic health problems for a long time and should be granted retrospective TUE (only for therapeutic purposes, which allows the use of means and methods on the prohibited list exceptionally). POLADA did not share the opinion of Łukasz Klimczyk. - Settling the application for retrospective TEU is unfavorable for the player - tells us Michał Rynkowski, head of Polish anti-doping. - The athlete's attorney now intends to most likely turn to the Arbitration Tribunal at the Polish Olympic Committee - he adds. The speedway patron wants to go to the Tribunal because the grant of a retroactive TEU would close the topic. If Drabik got it, there would be no disciplinary action before POLADA. The problem is that the action with the Tribunal is very risky. And it is not even about the fact that the decision may be unfavorable. It's more about time. The Tribunal sometimes took up to half a year to gather and deal with a given case. And yet the season starts on June 12, in a month. The path with the Tribunal also delays the subject of substantive consideration of the case by POLADA. Until now, the plan was that if the application for TEU was rejected, then in May the disciplinary panel would meet to issue a verdict regarding the breach of the procedure by a speedway rider. However, if the player's representative actually decides to court, POLADA will have his hands tied and will have to wait.

Russian Federation have refused permission for Emil Sayfutdinov to ride in the Extraleague.

The decision on Maksym Drabik`s hearing should be published today.

GP in Prague or Pardubice ??

I`m off to the opticians asap- i think i`m suffering from double vision

Forgot him.

Kurtz can go because he`s an Aussie(same as Doyle) Jack is riding E winner 1st division with Torun and i don`t think the league have made a decision about what to do.

As Sweden, Denmark and the UK are refusing start permission to ride Poland if the riders are doing their domestic league racing, these are the affected Extraleague riders Lindback, Bewley, NKI,Thomsen, Bjerre and Lambert.

Mikkel Michelsen who lives in Poland is refusing to sign his Polish contract with Lublin because he won`t agree not to be allowed to leave Poland as he wants to ride for his Danish team and sponsors.

The PZM, Wroclaw and Torun give everyone there money back and then BSI/IMG give them all that money plus what they paid to host it back ? no chance.

No chance of any GP`s if empty stadiums requirements are still in force.

Uk latest 24 hour period Covid 19 deaths 621 total 28131

Not sure if everyone is being serious- but the social distancing will be throughout the pits and other areas but not the race. that`s why a rider can only have one mechanic at the track.

Madsen and Przedpelski have agreed to ride for Czestochowa

He says that it`s more than a 50% pay cut.- not sure that`s a final decision

Eastville Bristol- pathetic track !!!

Sorry my bad Pocking not Norden !!!!!!

You are correct night before Norden- i was at Norden but not Landshut that year.

Looks as if there was another Golden greats at Landshut on 28th August 1993.

There was one at Swindon 1990.

I was there- the night before the Munich world final.

I`m pretty sure it will- the TV money is so great the clubs will do everything they can to make it happen, however there is i`m sure going to be a lot happening in the transfer window as clubs will want to be competitive.(brinkmanship on both sides !!) It could be the only opportunity for the riders to earn money this season, after no doubt spending heavily pre- season.
