KEITH M Posted August 5 Report Share Posted August 5 10 minutes ago, Mgas said: Jenkins has been given a 7 day ban. A statement is on his FB and instagram. I don’t know how to link it but if what Jordan is saying is accurate the ban is nonsensical. Jordan’s FB post I have been informed by the SCB today that I have been issued with a seven-day suspension, commencing from last Friday, which means I am unable to ride until this coming Friday. As people will be aware, I recently had to take some urgent time away from racing to undergo medical scans following concerns over an injury. Thankfully, those scans returned positive results, and I was cleared to resume racing. Since then, I have provided the SCB with the hospital sickness note issued to me on Friday morning, along with a fit-to-ride letter from the hospital dated yesterday, confirming that I am medically fit to race. Despite supplying all the relevant medical documentation, I was informed that I would not be permitted to guest for Poole tonight. I have since been told that, in order to avoid the suspension, I was required to have withdrawn from Wednesday’s meeting at Poole. However, I don’t understand how I could have withdrawn when, at the time, I had no reason to believe there was anything wrong. It wasn’t until I received a phone call the following day from the hospital that I became aware there was an issue that required further medical investigation. What I find most disappointing is that I was never formally informed that a seven-day suspension had been imposed. I have received no direct communication from the SCB regarding the decision, and my attempts to contact them by phone and message to discuss the matter have gone unanswered. I believe I have provided all of the necessary information to demonstrate that I am fit to race, and I am disappointed that I have been prevented from riding despite this. I would like to apologise to Poole and their supporters for being unable to take my place in the team as a guest this evening. 🚀 #JJ85 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately supported by the hospital statement saying he is FIT TO RACE! Wow!! Edited August 5 by SteveLyric2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should help focus promotion's mind's on making a signing though. What's the apparent reason for Jenkins ban? I have always liked Sam, he should do a good job.

He never rides the inside (white) line always going for the out side. It's something he was told about when he was part of the Pirates team previously.

They are and in the instance the rules are daft. They are designed no doubt to stop people taking the P but Jordan quite clearly isn't trying to do that, nor was Cooper earlier in the season.

You would be the first to moan if it was the opposing team No I honestly would not, its seems daft to me stopping a rider earn money. From a Poole perspective it makes little difference, I fully expect a decent return for Sam tonight, maybe a couple of points short of what Jordan would get but not much different.

Pinny Posted August 5 Report Share Posted August 5 So riders get a banned for going to get a scan for potential injuries or illness but riders are now doing drugs at meetings and getting away with it? What an absolute joke Uk speedway is these days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
