I'm not the biggest JS7 fan, however, he doesn't deserve this. I'm all about the don't do the crime if you can't do the time saying. But this is like doing 2 years for petty theft. Just my 2 cents.
Then they go down the list and ask about blood pressure drugs...The blood pressure drugs were the ones they looked for in this instance. Beta Blockers slowed down your heartbeat and you shook less. They then asked about pain management drugs.
By the time it was over, you'd denied taking the drug, or confirmed it 37 times. On paper, and verbally. I dont see how this could have happened unless someone else did the interview for him?

He broke the rules, and I strongly feel like he should have been suspended some races in 2015. To suspend him until August, however, is a bit harsh in my opinion. That being said, he has nobody to blame but himself and he can't really be too mad about it.
With a little bit of common sense you can see that this really isn't a case of using performance enhancing drugs but more of a case of thinking I'm above the law. It's my opinion that he knew adderall was banned and needed a TUE but thought to himself, I'm not going to tell everyone I'm on adderall cause then everyone will talk s***. Its not hgh or steroids, im not getting an advantage so if I get caught I'll smooth talk everyone and it'll be all good.
Im a Stewart fan but he definitely needs to be punished. He needs to be put in his place and show everyone else it doesn't matter who you are.
Taking away a chance at the title is a huge punishment. The reality is that sitting out 1 race of points severly affects your chance. Sit 3 and there isnt a prayer. I think between 1 race + 300k fine and 2 races 100k fine would have sent a loud and clear message.
Just look at the motocross community. 90 percent of what I read are statements that are backing him. As a matter of fact I can't think of one big name player in the sport that agrees with the punishment? You wanna be completely fair? Tell the FIM to f*** off. The AMA holds its own trial. Make the top 10 riders( the only ones with ability of beating him)the jury and decide what the sentence should be. Ill guarantee it isn't 16 months.
Your lack of basic understanding is hilarious. The laws are in place for all the motorcycling events they are over including Moto GP, Speedway, Supercross and MXGP. Which you had to try and attack ( making up lies) for no reason at all just because of USA pride so it made you feel better
The FIM banned Stewart from their own series! It hurts them as well! The only reason anyone cares is because it's Stewart who makes races exciting and it wasn't an American that took the decision. So somehow it's Anti- USA agenda ha ha. Brilliant.
The precedent was there with West, and while I agree it is a bit extreme it is what it is and they can't give Stewart 2 months if West got one year and a half, and it will make sure no one else makes the same mistake. It's just frustrating that it is Stewart because he brings a lot of excitement to the series. But everyone should have known the potential consequences going in.
It's not anti-usa and the AMA only care because this is the second star they have lost from their series since 2014 and are worried about ticket sales. WADA don't mess around, Stewart's camp clearly dropped the ball and are paying the (excessive) penalty. The AMA are now annoyed because it hurt them as well.
Heres how you'd handle that. To get the speeding ticket, you would see the rule printed in the document you were signing to get your license. It might say...
By signing this document, you agree to be executed if you are caught speeding.
At that point, you refuse to sign. Too much of a risk to be allowed to drive. Screw it, I cant agree to something so crazy. I'll ride the bus. Or, you think, "Hey, I speed sometimes..let me get some clarification on this." Or maybe even consult a lawyer to interpret it for you.
However, if you do sign the document, and drive, It's on you when you get caught speeding.
All the arguments against this severe punishment evaporated the second he agreed to the rules. Todays society just does not understand that.
Its like this sign in the Indonesia Airport. When you go into their country with drugs, what do you think might happen?

Think about it. If the Supercross series decided they didn't want to go with the FIM as the governing body, what could the FIM do? Stop them from having supercross races in the US? Nope.
And the FIM doesn't govern the MX series here in the states, or James wouldn't have been able to race the nationals this year.
Keep fishing.
Btw fyi West had an appeal and it got reduced to 1 year! Do some homework before writing a bunch if gibberish!!!
No mention of a successful appeal on his results which still show an 18 month disqualification
Pit Row
If Trey Canard got suspended for 16 months and two years ruined for cold medicine, would it be ok to be outraged over the punishment?
The FIM have their name on the SX series so this ruling means one of the top riders in a series they put their name too can't ride. It affects them negatively as well just like the AMA. It is not a witch hunt on Stewart or the USA.
Now the Big 4 in Japan and the Big 3 in Europe need to pull some corporate shenanigans and withhold all support from FIM events. Say starting Jan1 until the FIM/WADA BS stops. Just to let the FIM know how the racing cookies really crumble.
I don't defend or care for big Corporations as a general rule, but it would be fun to see the FIM nuts shrivel up when faced with no kingdom to rule over.
I find it highly improbable that him and his entire entourage didn't think, or forgot to A: mention adderall B: file for a TUE. It's incredible!
Even if adderall was used to mask another ped, it STILL doesn't make sense that there was no TUE in place.
I actually can't think of a reason for this happening, other than they didn't know adderall was legal with a TUE, and knowingly cheated. The reason I say this, is that if that wasn't the case, then we are forced to believe that everyone in the Stewart camp thought adderall was legal, and THAT I cannot believe.
Edit:
Actually there is one other option: misscommunication or sloppy teamwork, where they knew they need a TUE but somehow it never got done when everyone thought it did. So no cheating, and no complete ignorance, just missmanagment. Maybe that is most probable?
