Not often i find something to agree with you on. According to the FIM rules there should be no IF. Hence why Woffy is much the better rider and professional sportsman. Think Middlo manages to do all that with ease by himself. And should be no different now. Lets hope the FIM dont suck up to the school of all things Ward and Poole bias. If they do they the sport from the highest level is corrupt. That there is no dispute, although it seems some want to continue to make excuse after excuse for him.

Nothing unlucky about it. As someone who has a history of drink related incidents he SHOULD be targeted.

The FIM ruling on doping tests - seems clear to me. 10.3 Ineligibility for Other Anti-Doping Rule Violations The period of Ineligibility for violations of these Anti-Doping Rules other than as provided in Article 10.2 shall be as follows: 10.3.1 For violations of Article 2.3 (refusing or failing to submit to Sample collection) or Article 2.5 (Tampering with Doping Control), the Ineligibility period shall be two (2) years unless the conditions provided in Article 10.5, or the conditions provided in Article 10.6, are me

In fairness its only the usual Poole apologists. They would excuse anything. Well said. Disgraceful if he does. He should be banned UNTIL the outcome.

Well said. Good point. Think the yardstick is already set ie Stefan Danno. Like you say, the precedent has already been set. You know its a stitch up if Ward gets anything less. To be fair it is only the same blinkered few Poole fans. Wrong, he already has. Even the threat of having his career ruined when he fleed from the police after drinking and taking drugs hasn't changed him. He certainly WILL take it lightly. That is a good point! You are kidding right?? No previous should count?? He has had several last chances - time to own up to all of them.

He will be treated lightly no doubt and will do something similar within 12 months. He never learns. TOO many chance already.

There are no mitigating circumstances. No surprise that Middlo looks for excuses. It is as expected.

As he should be, he has history and previous for this behaviour. Should be tested before every meeting, but a ban is the best thing first and foremost.

No doubt MF will ensure the BSPA get any ruling changed to suit Poole if he is banned. All in the best interest of (Poole) Speedway.

He will, he always has done so far. Cant see him not doing so this time again.

Like Middlo would say `its what kids do these days`. No doubt the Poole fans will jump to his defence.

Nope, he is already committed to Wolves for 2015. He wont be riding here this year now. Just to add think its a shame Joe lost his team place, he has done a decent job.

Typical Blazeway, trying to pick fights when riders got injured. More important, great news about Aaron and Matty. The only news that IS important.

NO, the rules were altered and one rider mysteriously dropping down the FTD to benefit only one team allowed him to do it.

What a dull meeting, besides Heat 12. Heat 14 took the shine off it and i just hope Matt and Aaron are OK. Dreadful dreadful crash. That`s 2 huge crashes in PL meetings now on SKY. Thank god for air fences.

Just need to find one of yours FP, still waiting..

Top post. I must admit i wouldn't have gone to Wolves if Poole were due again this season. Perhaps we should all email our respective promotions to show our disdain. Its certainly one of the questions i will be putting to CVS/Adams at our next talk in.

I completely agree. It was always my intention to go and watch Gollob in Bydgoszcz at his majestic best but time has run out for that to happen now.

Dreadful track and racing, dreadful (lack of) referring decision.

Gollob is a sad sight to watch these days. Heartbreaking to watch. Pedersen owned on his own track.

Still banging that one man drum i see.

The point has already been made. That was from a different pool of riders. 100% agree. Middlo would have still assumed GB couldn't make the Final as well. Completely clueless.

Well said. Ignored by the usual (and Poole fans who think that Rosco is a Worse National manager than the previous one who couldnt even get us to the final with the same riders!) Sad points scoring to prove a point. Better than taking Middlo`s approach of `we ain`t good enough, so lets not bother`.

Its called `Starman2006 logic`. Known only to one person.
