For curiosity sake what average would Nick Morris come back on? Would he come back on his old average or would he be reassessed? If he is reassessed could Hagon or Hume make way for him, Stuart isn't afraid to be ruthless with changes and if I remember correctly he was close with Nick

What are Berwick? speedways halfway house? Surely lessons were learnt after Boxall. Banned riders should return with +3 on their average. At the time everyone is appalled and cannot wait to see the back of said rider, a year or so passes, the sport is desperate for heat leaders and all is forgiven.

While not disagreeing with your sentiments, I feel it should be pointed out that Nick Morris did not fail any drug test.    He just didn't take one.

Which, for many, could be classed as worse!

In most cases like this it is perceived to be an admission of guilt in some people’s eyes.

Personally I cannot see Nick returning  that ship has sailed and probably for the best.

Only Nick know's why he refused the tests, yes it would appear that there was some guilt involved but people with little knowledge often come to incorrect conclusions about the character of individuals.

What I will say is 'if he's as bad as some on here think, why would promoters already be making enquiries as to his availability'?

I don't think he should be oestracized. If he does the time, learns from his previous mistakes and is a better rider moving forward. Worse have come back and if the rider wins a few races (in my experience) it is soon forgotten.

Desperation?

Indeed. I think getting Fred West in as a heat leader would cross some promotion's minds. Nick Morris' offences are a drop in the ocean really, but people are still allowed the opinion that he should be banned permanently.

Are promoters really making inquiries to his availability?
