Maybe you could title it quiz question, when you know the answer, and if you don`t maybe something like " can anyone identify this rider for me ? ". I love a good quiz, so we should have more to tax our brainpower at this time !!

New Sportowefakty article today on the Drabik situation- Google translation Slag. The Arbitration Tribunal at the Polish Olympic Committee on the Drabik case. There is a chance that he will consider it before June 12 - If we get an application next week and we know that the case is urgent, we will do everything to resolve the problem before the start of the games - says about the case of Drabik, Roman Troicka-Sosińska, spokesman of the Tribunal at the Polish Olympic Committee. POLADA rejected the application of the plenipotentiary Maxim Drabik to grant the player a retrospective TEU to accept the drip before last year's PGE Ekstraliga final. Advocate Łukasz Klimczyk has already announced the submission of an application to the Arbitration Court at the Polish Olympic Committee. Now there he wants to apply for TEU, because having them, he closes the case. TEU would justify the drip, so Drabik would be clean by law and could focus on driving. The Arbitration Tribunal has not yet received a letter in the Drabik case, but Ms Romana Troicka-Sosińska, the institution's spokesperson, announces that she will try to hear the case quickly. - If we get an application next week and we know that the matter is urgent, we will do everything to resolve the problem before the start of the games - says Troicka-Sosińska. - The lawyer representing the player has already been to the Tribunal and knows the procedure, so he will know how to speed things up - continues Troicka-Sosińska. - On our part it looks like we accept the application, then pay the fee, and finally the secretary appoints the composition. The topic is media, so we know that it would be good to issue a judgment by June 12. It is a little over a month, so there is a good chance that we will make it within this period. We hear from the spokesperson that if the Arbitration Tribunal's decision is unfavorable, then lawyer Klimczyk may lodge a complaint with the Supreme Court. Based on the knowledge from the last auditions before POLADA, it can be said with great probability that it could end this way. Our information shows that it is not, as defense lawyer Drabik says, that the only reason for rejecting an application for TUE by an anti-doping drug was its late submission. Of course, submitting an application a few months after the final is the main reason for its rejection. There were, however, different. First, there were doubts about the testimony given by the athlete's doctor. Secondly, it has not been shown that all authorized means were used before the drip. Finally, Drabik himself did not indicate the objective circumstances that prevented him from applying for retro-TEU earlier. Drabik explained that the club doctor Betard Sparty Wroclaw told him that taking half a liter of drip was not prohibited, that he could do it. This, however, is a poor translation, given that he had already heard that it was against the law at the check he had admitted to having the IV drip. And if only on this basis, he should have submitted the application immediately.

Further Drabik article- Google translation Slag. POLADA will not suspend Drabik. Wait for the judgment of the Court. Will the player go in the league? Max Drabik's application for retrospective TEU rejected. The speedway patron wants the case to be dealt with by the Arbitration Court at the Polish Olympic Committee. If this does not meet before June 12, then Maksym Drabik will go to the inauguration of the league. Slag. Drabik's application for retrospective TEU rejected. His patron wants to go to the Tribunal at the Polish Olympic Committee POLADA rejected Maxim Drabik's request for retrospective TEU, but now the attorney of the speedway Łukasz Klimczyk wants the same application to be considered by the Arbitration Court by the Polish Olympic Committee. This may delay the case in time, because in the past the Tribunal was able to deal with the case six months from the receipt of documents. For Drabik, but above all Betard Sparta Wrocław, this does not necessarily have to be a bad solution. Especially because of the POLADA position. We spoke to the anti-doping director Michał Rynkowski if he intends to do anything about the Drabik case until the court has considered the case. The answer was unambiguous: there would be no action, and certainly there would be no suspension of the speedway until the application was considered. So if the Tribunal does not meet before June 12, then the Sparta speedway will take part in the match inaugurating the PGE Ekstraliga season. Drabik will run in the league until the court has considered the case. If this gathers in half a year, then the speedway will complete the current competition and worry about suspension before the next. POLADA does not intend to make any moves, because it must also assume such a variant that the Tribunal may make a decision favorable to the speedway rider. If this happened and the player was suspended in absentia, both his club and himself could claim damages. If the Tribunal is slow, Sparta will not have to worry about composition. The question is, how will Drabik be found in such a situation? At the back of his head would be the thought that he could be hung at any time. Will it translate into its results and how? This cannot be predicted today

Pedersen and Bjerre have agreed now to ride for Grudziadz- presumably the DMU will have the last word.

Sometimes family life is more important, and don`t forget Emil has shown previously when he refused to ride in the GP`s that he is his own man !!

He`s signed a contract to ride for Balakovo in the Russian league- if he hadn`t he would be ok(like Woffinden) if he wanted to be in Poland for all that time ! If Poland relax there quarantine and travel stipulations eventually it will enable more riders to ride there.

September date to be advised at a later date.

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.

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 !!!
