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I have since been told that, in order to avoid the suspension, I was required to have withdrawn from Wednesday’s meeting at Poole. However, I don’t understand how I could have withdrawn when, at the time, I had no reason to believe there was anything wrong.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.

I presume that SOMEWHAT TENUOUSLY the SCB are saying his recent absence was not directly due to a speedway injury. Unfortunately supported by the hospital statement saying he is FIT TO RACE! Wow!!

I saw that Hagon to guest, doesn't fill me with joy. 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. 

[gmuncie]

Unfortunate for Jordan but rules are crystal clear on this one.

As long as he learns to ride the white line. The one on the track (to avoid any confusion)🤣

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.

Trying to be funny, there is only 1 white line on the track apart from the start/finish line.

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 have thought a little common sense could prevail on this occassion.

Yes but he usually rode well on the outside, I don't Cooper is a white line hugger either, it isn't for everyone.

Especially for Poole's benefit! 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.

Why are other team’s streams so glitchy?

So far it’s been awful, mic not working for the pre match interviews so didn’t hear a thing and it’s cut out 3/4 times and the racing hasn’t even started yet.

Down again.

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.
