It was negligence on James part, but as JT$ has said there are many riders who don't read what they sign. Also, there have been other riders who said they didn't know the rules either.
There would be no reason not to get a TUE if he knew about them, being that he knew he needed the medication and passed all of WADA's doctors evaluations that granted him a TUE for future races.

Because this is winding up, I'd actually like to thank FTE for his efforts to educate us on the matter. I really appreciated and enjoyed your posts.
Whether you believe JS took it to gain advantage or not has to be personal opinion still as none of us have any facts. Neither parties involved have given us any evidence yet either way.. Shame really. A proper statement from JS rather than the odd comment here and there, and FIM report they promised to publish would have put all this to bed months ago.
Love him or hate him, James is the best thing for our sport.
Pit Row
Now we all know this is because the NFL has a Union. So does it make it "right" for the NFL guys to get 4 games (if that) and then just because our sport isn't big enough to have a union that our participants get crucified?
There should be a standard. And 30 races (or games) is fucking ridiculous. But that is what aggravates me most. Just becase their sport is larger and has their stuff together then the crime gets hardly nothing, punishment wise.
How is that right? It is all about the money, I guess.
I want our sport to succeed but I can't help it. I seriously hope that sales suffered this SX and in the upcoming MX season because I think this was handled way wrong. And I have said all along that he deserved something. 4 races, maybe. That would nullify him from the SX title. But what we got was a crime in itself.
Thanks, Bubba, for revolutionizing the sport and giving so much to the sport for over 10 years. Oh yeah, don't mess up...don't be human...because if you do, on your first offense we will crucify you and btw, no union or doctor can save you.
Just f'ing pissed. Also, I think it is lame not many riders or DC or others haven't stood up and at least voiced support to James and also to Suzuki. Again, he was in the wrong but how many of us haven't screwed up?? Off subject, but for the record, I think Davi got screwed to. If it was RV2 he would have just been spoke to, like JT said.
Some will disagree with me about Bubba. That's fine. Doesn't really matter, either way.
Oh yeah, another thing. The testing is a joke. Just testing the top 3 and a random is stupid. Either test everyone at the start of season or don't do it at all. Just my opinion.
It's important to remember that the overriding WDC value is clean competition, so an athlete is disqualified at least for an event's results if he tests positive even if he had no idea he had consumed the substance and established that he (or his posse) was without fault at all in the failure to identify it before the athlete consumes it. But it is very hard to establish no fault.
I love how you keep dragging DC through this like it's somehow his fault and he's to blame...
