Chaos exists inside just one person's head. Everyone else here is doing 'just fine'.

Clueless. Your every utterance in this thread, and others, displays a total lack of understanding of social media generally and facebook specifically. And yet you persist. Utterly clueless.

Are you bonkers? Karl Fiala moderates the group 'Speedway Friends'. And that is the group that has been discussed here, throughout the thread. The site 'Speedway Friends, Riders and Veterans' is a completely different group. It is not operated by Karl Fiala. And NOT ONCE have you referred to this group in your ramblings. Aha! I now notice you have edited your post to remove any mention of Mr Fiala. Sneeky.

. As always Gustix always creates confusion where clarity is needed. The Facebook page 'Speedway Friends' that has been discussed widely here has 10,308 members at this moment. An entirely different Facebook group entitled 'Speedway Friends, Riders and veterans' has 11,039 members. I have no idea what this proves. Except that Gustix must be the most infuriating member of this forum. Bar None. .

I am at a loss on this now. If Darcy has 'learnt his lesson' and is showing remorse in public, by word and deed. Then presumably he is acknowledging his total guilt in this matter. Has he contacted the FIM at any stage to say that he does not contest the charge?

Woosh!

Probably not Australia.

.It's always a little sad when Teens count up their 'likes'. To judge how much their life 'matters'. .

As quoted by gustix . Don't you just love the fact that gustix did not just quote Pirate Olivers post. He changed the offending line so pleasingly. He put it in italics. He underlined it. He increased the font size. And he made it stand out in Fire-Engine Red. With 'Speedway Friends' like gustix; Karl certainly does not want any 'Speedway Enemies' .

CHEESE does not represent good value imo I buy a something different called CHALK its cheap and it is bloody awful on toast, CHEESE costs more and tastes damn good.

.Yes, it is funny just how easily people imagine that success may go to the head of a sportsman. When it actually adversely affects those 'around' the principal, even more. Imagine how easier the negotiations for a wheelbarrow-full of-cash would have gone with a WORLD title in the tool box. Genuine gold, instead of that rather chocolate-filled version he has. .

So what is the real story about this Suskiewicz guy. It is rare to see any manager's name get mentioned at all; yet no story about Emil is ever free of a mention of this chap. Is he to be admired or feared? Is he serving Emil well? From his photo it is not possible to judge. Is he a bleached Svengali to be trusted; or is he an ex radio DJ who we should all watch carefully?

I always thought that. But naughty children very often shout 'It wasn't my fault!' When caught redhanded.

A couple of thoughts from the Swedish report ... The lawyer seems to be basing his advice on the Stefan Danno case ... That was in 2000, now 14 years ago. It will be interesting to see if a case from so long ago, when some aspects of doping control administration were quite different, really is a guiding precedent for today. Stefan Danno's case was decided in the week before Christmas for an offence committed at the end of September ... So timing wise Darcy's case isn't really that delayed by comparison, yet. And finally, the report makes no mention of the possibility of him being cleared on the grounds that the test was performed wrongly. He is now expecting a ban, so must now be reconciled to guilt being established? .

Not many Nicki fans may think of looking in the Darcy Ward thread for such info. If only there was a way of creating a Nicki Pedersen thread of his own.

I don't know. So why not start a thread about him? That is how forums work.

If he 'follows-through' with a Q&A after the buffet. Then the whole of Folkestone will be happy to make use of a 'Dirt' Deflector.

But they would be 'golden farts' endorsed by Bernie Eccleston. They would be 'ghost-farted', come in hard and softback options, despite being virtually identical. And be homologated into FIM versions at £200+ VAT. They would be compulsory even for penniless novices. And come in junior 'Tony-fart' versions for extra longevity.

Possibly .... But then if the FIM were to know that the testing procedure was not watertight. Then surely they would have come to that conclusion in the time that elapsed after the Latvian GP and before the end of August when they decided to press ahead with action that invoked the suspension. They could have just dropped the whole thing. Is it not just as logical that they formed the opinion then that they had quite reasonable confidence in the procedure and are happy enough to hand final judgement in the matter over to an outside body who they fully expect to find in their favour? Don't you just love speculation? .

This is the only place I had seen it mentioned.

You can type slower. You could use sign language; or even semaphore. Anything that could possibly make sense of your post. Please. .

. Am I living in a parallel universe or have you got me totally confused with someone else? I have never said you had defended him! I have never said that you have 'argued against' rational argument. I have never said that you 'contradicted' any of my posts. I just said that you seemed somewhat unable to SEE rational argument that I felt I had put in as unpartisan way as I possibly could. But only after you - out of the 'blue' - accused me of being anti Poole in a post that just wasn't.

What a strange post. If the test was as a FACT not done properly; then I don't think we would be at this stage at all, would we? If Wards legal team are able to show discrepancies to the tribunal this week then clearly the tribunal may determine this as a FACT. But that will surely for them to decide, not jacksback! And if the test was to be actually ruled out completely then surely the guy will be in the clear!

I imagine, from what we have been told, that the 'part of the FIM' that is handling this issue seems to be somewhat separate from the 'high ranking' FIM folk who seem to be talking quite freely about their misgivings concerning the process in the 'paddock chat' at recent SGPs. We have not been informed about actual persons that are to make up the judicial panel on this case. Their background is as yet unknown. So much of the SGP 'decision making' is a little hazy to say the least. I hope this panel is above reproach. That is all.

Absolutely right. Now is the right time to think about the little shi!t who has spoit the rest of the season for all of the decent folk in world speedway. Lets us hope that the reasonable tribunal members hold sway. And not the place fillers of the old guard. Be they editors, refs, pass holders or whatever.
