I'd wonder how many people in this thread that say, "follow the rules, it does not matter how dumb they are and who gives a fuck how many Olympic athletes WADA has ruined for insanely dumb things they've taken months and years to decide on. This sport needs them!" are also religious.

I'm sorry but they're just not needed in this small sport. An independent lab could do the same thing for half the price, and we could get a result and decision in a quarter of the time it takes WADA.

It's not just Stewart that was confused this year. Other riders, including Grant were confused.
James was simply the only one that got penalized for it.

Here's another problem I'd like an answer for;
Is WADA testing biased and worthwhile if they don't test everyone?

I definitely believe drug testing is neccessary in SX. If you're going to have it, you may as well get the best agency in the world to do it. WADA don't know the names of the riders tested, They just test the samples and report back to the FIM who have the names. So I can't see any bias going on.

If James was confused, then he's an idiot. I'm sorry that's no defense after you're caught. He has enough people around him, at least one of them should have figured it out. Unless he's using the 'confused' thing as a cover. James was not penalised for being confused!!!!! He was suspended for having amphetamines in his blood....

You say small sport, but there's still millions of $$ to be made if you're good enough. Take away testing and why would riders NOT dope if the rewards are there to be had?

Not sure you can test all riders all the time, so they pick random riders at random rounds (or top 3 + 2 others or whatever it is.)

You seem to forget that Dungey and Villopoto were also tested at Seattle. They both weren't cheating and passed the test.


Getting back to the MXA article this post is about- It says there that JS knows the penalty, and the delay is down to HIM deciding when to tell us! If that's true you should all stop banging on about how evil it is for WADA (even though its the FIM deciding) to leave the result this long.

If you want to test, you make sure you do it correctly and collect samples from everybody, like in every other sport that tests. Non of this random top riders garbage.

The way I see it is Wada and especially the FIM have let this community down in a big way. They went about this all wrong and with nothing in place and no guidelines to follow. its all a farse. We are being cheated and Js7 is being cheated. If he doesnt get to race he would have just spent the last 3/4 months training and testing for absolutely nothing. What a waist of time......

Things lke this cannot happen in a growing sport like ours, it makes the Fim look incompetent and most of all our community. For obvious reasons I gather why our sport hasnt gone to the next level in popularity.

If you want to read the FIM rule book go ahead. Its all there if you care to look.

Samples from everyone? Is that really necessary? Fairly sure that 'every other sport' does not in fact test everyone.

Random testing plus top three should be enough to discourage cheating as you never know when you could be tested.

It certainly is a paperwork blunder. But he had multiple chances to disclose that he was taking it, including at the time of the test and he didn't mention it. That at least seems deceptive on some level. If it's not a big deal, why not mention it? And let's not forget the staff of professionals that he hires who should have made sure that all of his paperwork was squared away.

James having skill that "we can only dream of" has nothing to do with the topic at hand. I can think of many people who are far better than I am at things, or more intelligent...it doesn't give them an excuse to be held to a different standard than myself when it comes to the rules. There's plenty of "nice guys" that are less than honest. Nobody made James choose to go in the direction of being a "high profile athlete pulled in a million directions." If he can't handle that, maybe it is time for him to retire and fade away out of the spotlight.

Please don't even bring race into this discussion. That has absolutely nothing to do with anything that's currently happening with the situation. I'll admit that I'm jealous of his talent. I wish I could ride the way he does. But I don't wish it badly enough that I'd change anything about my situation in life. I've been fortunate enough to enjoy my share of successes. So I don't think jealousy is a factor either.

Maybe he is at risk for "being pushed out of the sport?" Even that is a grasp since he's the one who put himself in the situation to begin with. Had he simply gotten his TUE prior to the testing, he would have been fine. He didn't and has to deal with the consequences. He deserves no safe harbor simply because he's "one of the best."

The sport is fine. It will continue on. And it will do so with or without James Stewart. Every sport or competition has it's people who don't play by the rules. Cheating happens. Oversights happen. And there will be consequences. These consequences should apply uniformly across the board regardless of who gets caught up in them. That being said, the amount of time that this process has taken is crazy to say the least. The penalty will be what it is. Anyone who did the minimum of research could have found that the penalties are usually pretty lengthy and if they didn't want to get caught in one to make sure they have their paperwork in order. James and his team didn't do so. Now they pay the price.

Go to the Nfl rule book

First offense for adderall is a 4 game suspension

Baseball, track, swiming, basketball, and all these sports have written penalties and very quick turn arounds on their disciplinary actions...but guess who doesnt? Fim

Its one thing if these actions come within a reasonable timeframe, but this is ridiculous...Im pretty sure that James could have saved a lot of time in life and money having the correct rules and disciplinary actions in place.

He'd have saved himself a great deal of time and money if he'd followed the rules that were already in place, and not taken a banned substance without a TUE in the first place. Blame the FIM and WADA as much as you like, there's only one person responsible for his failed drug test. (and its not me by the way)

You must be dumb?

Its not about enforcing the rules im all for the rule book and enforcing the rules.....its the discipline that needs to be written out. you cant run a company without them. Name me one sports league that has an * for their rulebook.

Go to the Nfl rule book

First offense for adderall is a 4 game suspension

Baseball, track, swiming, basketball, and all these sports have written penalties and very quick turn arounds on their disciplinary actions...but guess who doesnt? Fim

Its one thing if these actions come within a reasonable timeframe, but this is ridiculous...Im pretty sure that James could have saved a lot of time in life and money having the correct rules and disciplinary actions in place.
