What I'd like to know is why have the riders that have "elected" to miss this meeting not sanctioned with a 7 day ban like Artem Laguta for electing to miss the Wolves league match. Who decides which meeting carries a sanction? If the Pairs doesn't but league matches do, why aren't they treated the same if they are "official" fixtures... what about the KO Cup? Is that official, does that carry a potential ban... what another fine mess they've gotten themselves into
