Late prescriptions are not allowed per the rules they say. He knew the rules and knew the medication and had a chance to notify WADA of the need to use this drug prior to testing. So as a Fan of JS7 I am sad to say he should be punished at a high level.

The thing that is sad about this is how it was handled! The AMA and FIM is having talks with sponsors and money people to try and save face for those companies in my opinion. That is not was the rules are meant for! Do not apply different rules for different riders or teams!

When was the last time I heard that the AMA did something right? Just wonder on that question!

I kinda gotta agree... They need to act correctly on this if it is ever to be taken seriously.

Fuel gate and Windham's block pass review were the last major issues handled by them and they fucked it up badly.

It sux for Stew but rules are the rules which should be the rules. Unless he has a perscription that dates back a couple years and receipts and all the other shit that would prove with out a doubt, he's gonna cop it from everyone for ever.
The guy is worth Millions, you don't think he cant get prescription backdated

Im a massive stewart fan, but the only thing Im bummed about is the amount of hate he is going to get. He already gets the race card (at least around here I know he does). And i will CONTINUE to be a massive fan.

But if it comes back as something major like doping. Im afraid ill loose all respect.

What's meant by a 'late' prescription?
if he had a script from a doctor for it,this would never come to surface.this is not his first rodeo in pro ranks with all the people surrounding him for his best interests.
this is a mask for something not scripted to him. corrected by people after the fact.to protect the ($) well being of the sport, a sport that is to small without stars like him that generate so much revenue.
another words ,the bigger you are,the more revenue you bring in, the more lax that person cares about rules and its slap on the hand consequences.
guaranteed ,zero punishment handed down.$'s have already washed the palms of certain hands.
its good to be on the deans list.lol

I'm not a fan of James but, this does nothing in my mind to tarnish his standing in the sport. If a doctor prescribes something for your health, there isn't a person on here or anywhere else that wouldn't take it. If it were purposely abused in an intentional manner to take advantage,,,, then yeah. Prescribed by a doctor, no way.

I'm a Stewart fan and it doesn't change my attitude at all. I think this whole thing is overblown and it doesn't matter to me. I'm sure he's not the only one using "additives" which, to me, is just a part of the very high end of endurance sports like ours.

I think if a rider has an honest medical condition he takes an RX for, there should be an exception. That gets ugly though because then all riders could find a doctor to give them the same RX, not much win going on there, how do you police that? you can't. What is troubling is if you know you are taking a banned substance and have a medical reason for it, I would be screaming up and down about it before I ever peed in a cup, to the point that I might refuse the pee test and deal with it that way.

I have no opinion as we don't have all the facts, just a press release, but reading the comments here are hilarious....

We have the nut huggers saying everyone not a js7 fan is happy about this, then you have the people trying to be all diplomatic playing it down the middle saying they don't care, that they're fans of the sport and want Stewart to get better and all worked out, and then you have people saying he broke the rules and cheated only to have the nut huggers get pissed and flick them crap...classic vital!

I've been rooting for Stewart for a while now. I hope this is all a big mistake and he's not punished. But I don't see that happening. These are professional athletes, more importantly he rides for a professional team. If anyone thinks for one second that if stew was prescribed by a doctor and was legitimately aloud to take this then you're sadly mistaken. His team would've reported this to the proper officials as soon as he began legally taking whatever it is that he took. These aren't your average racers, they're the top of the tier programs. Unfortunately, negligence is not an acceptable excuse. Obviously Stewart was negligent, but if his team knew about it and failed to report it then they too are negligent and just as much to blame. This kind of stuff happens all the time in professional sports. The athlete says they didn't know it was banned or that they were supposed to report it, but in reality they did and they end up being punished.

Now do some thinking, even if its only about a parents sincere plea for their child's help.
If that was actually written in for James, then I pretty much nailed it in another thread.

All of the 450 guys up on the podium that night in Seattle are about the age where all of their parents were called to the elementary school cafeteria, sat down and explained that all of the kids in the school were hyperactive fools and all needed to be medicated. I remember those days.

I was just sorting through all my memorabilia the other day to get framed up for my man cave project and came up with the sweetest Stewie poster that my wife stood in line for hours to get autographed at the Houston SX. It's going to look good up on the wall.

Will be interesting to see what it ends up being. I hope that it was unintentional, and it comes out as such. The list of banned substances is so intense it would require a full time job just to monitor every food and drink in a riders diet, as well as every medication. That said, surely if it is prescription medication, then the first thing the rider would do is check the banned list.....

Not at all...commenting on the categories of comments and how it's classic vital. You're in one or the other camp, and depending on where you fall you get called names.

True. But it's someone's (not sure who) responsibility to look into these things. Whether it's Stewart, his trainer or dietician, I don't know. But someone is responsible for these sorts of things

I can understand the whole have a script scenario but why didn't he bring it up BEFORE the test so this wasn't such a big issue. Appears to have something to hide by not getting it in the open up front.

Is be surprised if whatever he was taking was giving him an unfair advantage. The dude has been a bad ass on a bike since day 1....and he's looked great on the Zook as long as he's been healthy.

I am wondering about the rumor of a Monster rider getting a slap on the wrist though while Red Bull James did not.

No matter what happens I hold the dude in very high regard.

James is a human being like everyone else here. If the drug was prescribed to control ADD/ADHD, and was taken regularly by him...then the performance enhancement would have been nil. Performances I'd only dramatically enhanced in those who take those drugs sporadically, on a non-regular basis with the sole intent of enhancement. So what if Cole Seely admitted that he suffered from ADD/ADHD...and Stew didn't because he didn't want to lay his personal weakness on the line. To face punishment over testing positive for a substance that's legal, has been prescribed by a medical doctor, and has been used to control a long standing problem with a rider is complete bullshit.

I hope we can find out what is really going on, but I'm afraid we probably won't. If we see him missing races, then I guess we know for sure that whatever he failed for is definitely a no-no.

He's been taking a prescription medicine that's for a long term injury. It probably contains a substance that's illegal to the WADA, but isn't a direct substance that's illegal (steroids, blood doping, etc). I won't look at him any different, it isn't like he was busted for blood doping and it's nothing to freak out over, unless you're that bored during this week off.
