Long time reader first time poster, never had anything to add until now. I raced road bicycles for the good part of 20 years and clanged around different levels of the pro 1/2 scene for many moons. I have experienced first hand what doping does to sport - it isn't pretty. Mules are turned into race horses and racehorses are turned into gods. Been dropped by the best and people that made you shake your head. saw and heard things regarding peds that were insane. Peds do make a difference, even a small advantage is huge. One thing I have learned is that where there's smoke there's fire, and I will say this - and stamp it. A rider of Stewart's pedigree does not accidentally/randomly test positive for something like aderall. All he had to do was file it and get on with his day. If a privateer tested positive I would feel a little more sympathy. Stewie has the best doctors and handlers, this should have never happened - unless it is as as it appears. Cheating, pure and simple

Secondly... A rider of Stewart's pedigree does not accidentally/randomly test positive for something like aderall... That statement is 100% correct.
So you liken Adderall to the likes of EPO, HGH, blood transfusions, the whole gambit? That's a false equivalency if I've ever seen one. I think you're the one who is high here.
Anyone buying into this story that he's been taking it his whole life by doctors orders, is just being fooled by a cover up.

you couldn't have just added your "expert" opinion to one of the other 20 threads?
I understand what you re saying in your post but the way it is written is an oxymoron.
edit: I just re-read it and you are correct, I am mistaken/wrong. My bad.
edit2: Nevermind, I just re-re-read it and I think I'm right.
If a TUE is easy to get, why didn't he file? If it's a routine process to get an exemption, getting caught seems less like cheating and more like gross incompetence to me.
James puts out a statement saying, " Hello everyone, I am sorry for all of the commotion. Yes I took Adderall at Seattle supercross and I'm ashamed that I did that knowing it's a banned substance. This was the first and only time I have done this. I'm sorry that I lied and said it was the prescription was by doctors orders. Moving forward I will not take any type of banned substances. To prove this, I will have my blood tested with costs out of my pocket for every event I enter until retirement. I will also give up my points earned at the Seattle supercross, return the purse money to FIM as well as the incentive money that was paid out by sponsors. This mistake I made was a rash decision, I hope all the younger riders out there can learn from my mistakes and not be influenced by my poor decision making skills during a stressful time in my career."
It's that easy.
Every sport around is dealing with some type of steroid scandal. James has made millions off MX and he's going to treat it like a back yard football game and not keep up with what drugs he's allowed to take.
here is a novel concept..
how about we all wait until the facts come out before we decide what the facts are...

As to the rest of the chuckleheads, they would sell your mother into sex slavery for $10. They are hyper aware of the rules and h o w to break them. It is naive to think otherwise. Everyone knows, trust me
Just so much speculation....
How do you know he doesnt have a tue?
Im talking about the broad sceme of things....do I need to reinterprete it in a 3rd grade level read for you?
Retired and happy at this point. No worries and never tempted
The only point I'm trying to make and the one I agree with us that this is james job(multi-million dollar job) He knew that it was banned( or someone in his crew should have investigated), James or his crew should have gone the steps to clear this before it became a problem if it's a factual ADHD problem.
And put all the "experts" out of work?
Are you aware of how bad this economy is and yet you would still have these people unemployed?
Cold-hearted bastage.
Preach on
