"This is simply what WADA does. Most folks within this sport are saying this sets a precedent, but it does not. WADA already set the precedent via previous decisions in other sports, and they’re just sticking to it here. They’re not looking at supercross any differently than any other sport. In a way, this is actually a good thing, because all along we've heard conspiracy theories floated around saying Stew will be fine because "he has money" or "he helps the promoters sell tickets." WADA does not care about any of that, and after that Anthony West situation, the FIM knows if they don't hand out a harsh penalty, WADA will take them to the Court of Arbitration for Sport and make them do it. There's already been a precedent set here. No one can argue a way around that."

If a clerical error can get you two years then our sport does not need WADA. That is a joke. And you know it.
At the end of the day the Fim and Wada got this wrong!!!

JSE dropped ball and did not get proper paper work in so should be JUSTIFIABLY punished
FIRST OFFENSE....
16 month ban??
Prater/Coombs? Are you seriously going to keep our sport at the mercy of THAT?
Goof job all around.folks. Hey rules are rules, right? If the openalty for speeding was death, we should HAVE to follow it.because its a rule, right?
Too many stubborn ass fucktwats that would jump.off a cliff is it was a "rule"
FFS.
Trust me, this kind of exposure, this kind of publicity isn't doing our sport any good. Today, we lost one of our most gifted and charismatic riders. Any way you look at it, this is bad for Supercross and Motocross. Don't think it makes us more legit. The fact that he didn't file the paper work and tested positive was a black eye and now such a severe punishment and losing him for 16 months and possibly forever, in this way, is another.
