On there way i would suggest Google translation of a Sportowefakty article published today. We don't have good news for players Coronavirus paralyzes sports games around the world. Slag will also soon feel the effects of this disease. The situation in several countries is very worrying. In Poland, coronavirus appeared relatively late relative to other European countries, but the situation will get worse, as state authorities are convinced. There have been 17 cases with us so far. An elderly man who was hospitalized in Wroclaw is in serious condition. Further cases of coronavirus mean that the next matches of football Ekstraklasa are to take place without the participation of the public. There is no decision in speedway, but even PGG ROW Rybnik has decided to cancel its presentation for the 2020 season.

Current listing of all contracted riders across the teams in the 3 leagues whose contracts have been logged with the PZM(Robert Lambert cannot have got a signed contract with Rybnik yet !) https://www.pzm.pl/pliki/komunikat/gksz/2020-03/30789/komunikat-nr-4-przynaleznosci-klubowe.pdf

A perfect fit British Speedway and an estate agent- it`s time British Speedway got it`s house in order

No that’s Bristol- that’s how they talk down that way !!!

Not sure why it’s going to be a problem getting a ticket- just like any other foreign GP, bit of hassle but you can sort it out in the end. As for a visa again pretty straightforward but it might involve a trip to London to the Russian embassy. Change planes at Moscow for Samara int airport- big adventure i would suggest.

Not sure the 29th is considered early in the month- but i think i know what you are saying.

Teams named Skład Australii: 1. Jason Doyle 2. Jaimon Lidsey 3. Max Fricke 4. Brady Kurtz 5. Chris Holder 6. Jack Holder Skład Polski: Bartosz Zmarzlik, Patryk Dudek, Janusz Kołodziej, Krzysztof Kasprzak, Bartosz Smektała, Dominik Kubera.

Looking at some articles, i reckon he turns 16 in June 2020 obviously before the 6th.

Think they forgot to add “ drawn and quartered “. !!

New Sportowefakty article on Drabik situation- Google translation Breaking the anti-doping procedure has become Max Drabik's nightmare. The speedway Betard Sparty Wroclaw confessed to the offense, accepting half a liter of drip (the allowed amount is 100 milliliters), after the final match Fogo Unia Leszno - Sparta, which took place on September 22, 2019. However, as we found out, Drabik told the controllers only about the drip, while the rest was to be told by Sparta's club doctor. In Wroclaw club we were unable to get a comment, there is still an embargo on information about Drabik. However, in three independent sources we determined that during the inspection the speedway rider was assisted by doctor Bartosz Badeński. Maksym was supposed to admit the controllers to accept the drip, but he had no idea how much it was given to him and he did not answer this question. The doctor was supposed to do it. If during the proceedings at POLADA the witnesses confirm the version, this may be a mitigating circumstance for the player. Of course, Drabika does not release you from your knowledge of anti-doping rules, but the whole situation shows that he wasn't the only one who didn't show off. It is not surprising that the doctor did not object (we have not heard anything about it) that in a statement issued by Sparta on January 10 it was stated that the administration of hydrating substances was coordinated by him. It can cost a doctor a lot, because the director of POLADA Michał Rynkowski has already said in one of our publications that the doctor is also threatened with sanctions. Can be hung. By the way, if it was the doctor who gave the information about the drip volume during the check, it can be said that he put Drabik on the mine. If there was no information in the report that the drip was half a liter, then Drabik's procedural situation would be different than at present. He could still hide behind oblivion. Certainly it would be better for him than the fact that the volume was given. - If the doctor did not give the volume, we would have serious doubt - says lawyer Jerzy Synowiec. - And all doubts are settled in favor of the accused. This case could be discontinued. Unfortunately, in the current situation there is no chance. So what if Drabik didn't give the volume. The doctor did it, and Drabik signed it. Drabik can still avoid the trial if his representative's application for retrospective TEU is approved. However, our information shows that the chances of this are virtually nil. And the argument about one-day hospitalization at the stadium raises a smile of pity in anti-doping. According to the regulations, such hospitalization must take place in a closed institution, preferably in a hospital. However, a stadium or even a doctor's office is not the right place.
