So seeing as the AMA has pretty much told them there conduct and punishment is unacceptable, could they grant him permission to race A1?

"Arbitrary and capricious."

Something is in the works behind the scenes.

I bet all the guys bashing the AMA in the other threads feel stupid now.

Be interesting to see, WADA and USADA will no doubt be involved here via FIM and AMA... FIM is likely gonna say it's WADA. If AMA don't like it and pull out, which seems like an over-reaction, then they'd have to answer to USADA... Who answer to WADA.

Pretty surprised the AMA would send something like that in a formal letter. That's the letter that should come after meetings and negotiations have failed. Long winded with accusations isn't going to help anyone get this resolved.

Good luck with that one.

It's probably legal etiquette...

That is a good start Mr. Dingman. Now just what the hell are you going to do about it?

I agree with the AMA 100% and I coincidentally just found our jackets that we got a few years ago at Daytona that have a small ama badge with the dirtbike whipped on the front pocket area. They sticker price was like $250 but they were marked down to 50 on last day of bike week so I grabbed a few. Waterproof black heavy jackets with cool pen stripes that I have had in heavy rain and snow. I will now proudly wear one on the FLW stage this year. lol

If an angry Bubba gets to race come round 1, we are either gonna see a perfect season, or an amazing lawn dart taking him out with injury for about 16 months.........
