From the SCB rule book E. Banned Substances Banned Substances (Alcohol, Doping and Drugs) refer to Article 3.2.12 WORLD ANTI-DOPING AGENCY (WADA) The ACU (SCB) has adopted the WADA Code (www.wada-ama.org) under the auspices of the UK AntiDoping in Sport body (UKAD) and have granted jurisdiction in all cases arising under these WADA antidoping rules to the UKAD’s National Anti-Doping Agency including the Case management. UKAD Rules, Policies and Codes, including up to date Prohibition Lists are available on www.ukad.org.uk/resources/documents. To establish the status of “over the counter" and "prescription only" medicine visit the website www.globaldro.co.uk SCB ALCOHOL and DRUG TESTING In addition to Testing carried out by UKAD, which will fall under the scope of WADA, The SCB, pursuant to the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, that places a duty of care for Workplace health, safety and welfare, the SCB may order Drug and/or Alcohol Testing to take place before, during or after a Meeting of any Officials or riders. These tests (and the subsequent results and penalties) do not fall under the scope of the WADA. NB. Tests conducted by a UKAD DCO, under the scope of the WADA regulations will differ from those listed below and the DCO (Doping Control Officer (s) will explain the full approved procedure. TESTING PROCEDURES Riders and Officials may be balloted, nominated or selected for testing. These persons will be notified of a time and place to report to and may be accompanied by one other person. They will be required to prove identification by showing an acceptable document (Passport, Driving Licence (that includes a photo), an FMN Competition Licence or SCB Registration/ Licence. Person(s) conducting these tests, hereinafter referred to as the Testing Official, may be either the Meeting Referee, another SCB licensed Official specifically appointed by the SCB for this purpose or a representative of an SCB approved 3 rd Party Organisation. A suitable area, well away from the Pits Area, to avoid any possible influence of Methanol is recommended as a place to carry out the tests. For tests conducted by a UKAD DCO then the Officer (s) will explain the full procedure. Testing carried out by an SCB Official or nominated 3 rd Party will adhere to the following procedures; The Rider / Official will choose a sealed Breath test instrument ‘mouthpiece’ and drugs testing ‘device’ and under the direction of the Testing Official, will supply either or both: a) a sufficient quantity of breath to ensure that an Alcohol Test reading can be taken; repeating as necessary until such time as sufficient breath is provided, and/or b) the appropriate quantity of urine or saliva to enable the drug screening device to perform the test. Upon completion of the initial ‘screening’ test(s), the Rider / Official will be notified of the Result. If a breath alcohol test of anything but ‘0’, a second breath alcohol test will be required from the Rider / Official 15 minutes after the completion of the first test. If the second breath test result is above a reading of ‘4 µg/100ml’ (micrograms of alcohol per one hundred millilitres of breath), the Rider / Official will be immediately disqualified from the Meeting and reported to the SCB Co-ordinator. A saliva or urine alcohol test may also be used. If a drugs screening result displays ‘non-negative’, the same sample will be screened within a second device. If the second result is also ‘non-negative’, the sample will be packaged under Chain of Custody conditions and sent to the accredited Laboratory for Confirmatory Analysis. The Rider / Official will be immediately disqualified from the Meeting and reported to the SCB Co-ordinator. If the second screening result displays a ‘negative’ result, the same sample will be screened within a third device, the outcome of the third screening result will be final. If negative, no further action is required, if The Speedway Regulations 63 ‘non-negative the sample will be packaged under Chain of Custody conditions and sent to the accredited Laboratory for Confirmatory Analysis. The Rider / Official will be immediately disqualified from the Meeting and reported to the SCB Co-ordinator. In addition to the penalties outlined in these Regulations, the SCB may order further testing, at the defendant’s own expense. A Rider or Official who refuses to undertake testing shall automatically be disqualified from the Meeting and reported to the SCB Co-ordinator

Leszno v Czestochowa Friday June 28th

They have probably tightened things up as regards "signing in" to a meeting these days to stop any chance of that happening now !!!!- Oh the memories

Yes

Grudziadz must now be in with a great chance to join Leszno, Wroclaw and Zielona Gora in the play-offs- almost done and dusted for those 4.

You can`t fail a drugs test on the night- you can refuse to take one- or pull out of a meeting before they pick what riders will be tested.(done before)

Surely if the Authorities are at a track testing, then Alcohol test results are known at track- pass or fail. Drug testing is different and samples are taken under controlled conditions and sent away to the labs for the results.
