From MX Sports:
“At this stage in the results management process, the decision to compete at a National level remains with the athlete, FIM and WADA, as MX Sports Pro Racing is not a Signatory to the WADA Code and does not have the authority to impose a provisional suspension. Our sanctioning body, AMA Pro Racing, has indicated that it will not restrict Stewart from competing in the upcoming Tennessee National and will reevaluate its position pending the final decision of the FIM International Disciplinary Court (CDI). If this position changes we will be notified accordingly. Until then, Mr. Stewart is free to compete without restriction."
.....and to MX Sport......... a big fucking KUDOS for explaining how the decision was made.

will reevaluate its position pending the final decision of the FIM International Disciplinary Court (CDI)
I wouldn't think the final decision from the CDI would come this week, but who knows?
It would have been better IMO for all to gave worked it out, but I think this us the better result , and will be obvious as such when the facts come out ( or not maybe)
But the deal is a tough enough to crack without dropping in the question of whether the FIM has any authority over this series, which is a boatload of monkeys all by itself.

10.10 No Rider or other Person who has been declared Ineligible may, during the period of Ineligibility, participate in any capacity in an event or activity (other than authorized anti doping education or rehabilitation programs) authorized or organized by FIM or any FMN or a club or other member Organisation of FIM or any FMN, or in Competitions authorized or organized by any professional league or any international or national level event organisation.
Does a provisional suspension equal ineligibility?
Glad he's still racing!

Joke once again. Lets have rules but not enforce them................very smart. You have just opened the door for anyone else to use them.

If we want to be considered the WWE of motorsports, fake and full of shit.
What I'm saying is.....if the FIM can't control if James races the nationals......how can they give him more grief in the SX series?
"Regardless, the FIM issued an announcement this morning that James Stewart is "provisionally suspended with effect from June 20 until further notice." Which takes us to this: The FIM-sanctioned series is over. It ended the first weekend in May. It's now late June and the AMA Pro Racing-sanctioned series is at full steam. Stewart is ranked third, 20 points behind Red Bull KTM's Ken Roczen and Ryan Dungey. Stewart's team announced that he is "willingly communicating with WADA and taking all appropriate steps to resolve this matter and plans to be at the starting gate at the Tennessee National in Blountville, TN on June 28." "
This leads me to believe that Davey and MX Sports (rightfully so) do not necessarily feel they have to follow the FIM's guidance or direction in any way, shape or form.
As for me, honoring the FIM's suspension would be kind of like Ford suspending an employee because Toyota said they had to. Now, if MX Sports and AMA Pro Racing wish to hold all their riders accountable to another organization's rules, then so be it.
