It shouldn't matter where you come from, knowing right from wrong isn't geographical. Talking about me not nick.

One question though, do we know the reason why he refused to take a test. Come on ,maybe not in law .He never got off with his excuse.So if he came back and they pick him again for a test what happens if he refuses just like this time (for no reason) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am told from a very reliable source, or should I say from someone that should know what went on, Nick apparently could not pee to take the second test, and yes the first test allegedly showed positive.

If that was the case, when he was ready to take a pee, he should've provided one that could've cleared things up. I have actually heard a rider saying the same thing (about not being able to pee) but, surely drinking a gallon of water might've speeded things up?

Is there a time limit on these "facilities"? Can the Brummies do what they've done for the past year and a half, just run with a guest til the end of the season? I'd have thought that they'd have had enough time to find an alternative permanent signing by now, but maybe guests are cheaper? I dunno. But then again with only 4 meetings until their season is over, is it worth signing someone just for those? No properly satisfactory solution, I fear.

It may be testing has changed but in the past you gave 1 sample. That was split in to 2 recepticles. The first was tested and if positive the second sample was retained for further tests. I've not heard of a process where you give a sample and are then asked to give another one. If he could not pee he would have been asked to drink water and to remain in the presence of an examiner until he could give a sample however long it took. These samples don't require a massive amount of urine to be compliant. If he's had a strop and refused to give a sample or tried to influence the tester or verbally abused the tester it may explain the issue of the withdrawn charge. Bottom line is that at some point he has not met the guidelines and got a just punishment. He has been a shadow of the rider he was for a few years in my opinion and we probably won't see him in the UK again even on his most recent inflated average. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct having been involved in athletics,the drug Testers just with you till your Athlete provides a sample,like you saya bottle of water soon does the trick. ps its a small sample you have to provide. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is the timing of the ban, if Birmingham get a 28 day facility, that would run out after the transfer cut-off date. I assume they'd get a facility for the season, is that what happened to Plymouth with Barker last year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
