Now we've had 6 months of zero, nothing coming out on this story from the JS camp. Now suddenly we have this quote from a 'reliable source' a week a way from a very important WADA/FIM hearing.
Seems a bit odd to me that the team would do such a good job of keeping silent on this, only to release a whole load of information with a week to go??? Are they that desperate to race the MEC that they think this will somehow get them on the line? Are they trying to get the fans on side prior to the hearing ('see look we said it was just a paperwork mistake'). Is this intended to try and influence that hearing?
What if the FIM?WADA hearing hands out a 2 year ban now? There'll be outrage from fans seeing as we've just heard it was 'just a TUE issue'. Anything more than a fine or a very short ban will not go down well following Weigand's story.
I'm just wondering whether the RacerX article is fact, or just another piece of PR aimed at influencing fans and decision makers?
Hopefully next week we'll have an offical FIM press release and it will all be over.
Sir!

this guy gets paid more than damn near anyone in the sport, and has had the biggest entourage, i think he needs at least a fine, but think a couple of race suspension at least would have been good, maybe done a bit earlier so he could have missed the monster cup and some other nothing race and gone to A1,
We all know who had their bad gas test swept under the rug after throwing a bitch fit. This, after a number of other riders had their points taken away and not returned.
This sport has been known to do things for certain riders and certain people. The governing body is and has been a joke.
Had this been another lower level rider, no one would care because they aren't winning races. Thats the simple and plain of the whole deal.
Yes, rules are rules and they should be upheld, but until they do that for everyone, don't be surprised at how things play out.
just because he has a release for next year, does not prove he was in the right this year,
Another redneck move for a redneck sport.
They've done bad things previously but this one in my opinion is the worst if they let him race the entire season. I guess we will see how it plays out, but if the FIM/AMA does not suspend him for a few races at least, it's an absolute joke. This whole deal has been on ESPN's website. Just think about how bad this would look and the message it sends to the industry, general public, other sports, other riders, etc.
1. Yes he was in the wrong by not having his TUE in on time
2. WADA retrospectively allow his TUE but there is a X-Penalty say 4-5 races.
3. The races he missed including American MX , Potential MXoN selection MEC could count towards races he has missed due to provisional suspension
4. He lines up at A1
Which equates to, being in the wrong, punished by missing races, punishment already served go race., everyone happy.
Missed the last few games, ready to line up next season.

I am fuking shitfaced. Drugs are a part of this sport unfortunately even on the big Island down under. I would not expect you to believe it and it sucks but that life. Have fun giving cokc frothys on Oxford street you little bitch.
He missed races cause he was "recovering".
If he doesn't get at least a couple of race ban from 15 sx then this whole thing had been a joke and why even bother with the testing at all from here on out.
If he was told he was provisionally suspended and sat out those races for any reason they would count as suspended races.
No different than say AFL or NRL, if a player was to get suspended and injured at the same time, the rounds they were going to miss due to injury anyway still count towards the suspension.
