On 12 December 2014, the FIM International Disciplinary Court (CDI) found that Mr Stewart, Jr. who tested positive for amphetamine at the round of the 2014 Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, held at the Century Link Field, Seattle, Washington, had committed an anti-doping rule violation under the FIM Anti-Doping Code.
Mr Stewart has been sanctioned by the FIM CDI with a period of ineligibility of 16 (sixteen) months commencing on 12 April 2014 (date of the collection of the sample) and ending on 11 August 2015 at midnight.
After the full Decision was notified to Mr Stewart, Jr. on 12 December 2014, he filed an appeal against the FIM CDI decision before the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), based in Lausanne.
On 27 April 2015, the CAS issued its full reasoned Award in the case of James Stewart, Jr. v. the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) (attached).
The CAS upheld the FIM CDI Decision confirming the 16-month ban imposed by the FIM CDI on James Stewart, Jr.

It is an interesting article though. Finally some hard facts instead of rumors or anything
Stewart contacted a doctor about ADHD after his crash in Thunder Valley when the reporter crossed the track. I remember most of the forum were saying that the photographer had nothing to do with it ... Looks like he really lost focus and then things went bad.
Lets face it the diehard JS fans that will never accept he did anything wrong are not about to change their opinions now, whatever that report says.
Where's JS's full and honest in-depth explanation for his fans that he promised he'd write as soon as all this was over? He's got nothing to say on the subject as usual.
Its the JS fanboys that are still butt-hurt (and RV of course), not the FIM.
I mean, honestly. What does everyone think?And I HATE to think like that but I just can't help but think it would have been different.
It bums me I even think that but I'm just being honest.

I have no problem with a 1, 2 or even 4 year ban for PED use.
I have a problem with allowing an organization to run the disciplinary side of things that would make it nearly impossible for someone with less money than Stewart to even afford a hearing. it's a major problem when the FIM does not even have an office in the states to hear disciplinary measures for someone who couldn't afford to travel to the FIM.
I'd like it so that every rider, regardless of money, be able to get a fair hearing. Not just someone with money who can afford the foreign travel costs.... Just my opinion.
The other way to describe it is simple: Unprofessional.
That's too bad, in a sport that could use a whole heaping spoonful of professionalism to catapult it to the next level.

"though without any great success"
This is an example of a handful of incredibly unprofessional comments made in this document. Any organization affiliated with the FIM should be seriously reconsidering its relationship.
All that mess over something he is now approved to race with. Smh

He broke the rules and I for one don't buy the excuses for a second. Not. One. Second.
Lots of other guys have been suspended for doping violations by the FIM. They all got two years and didn't bitch and moan and whine like they deserved special treatment. Stewart is fucking lucky he got what he got and it wasn't much worse.
Any more questions?
That's not a paperwork issue, that's lying to the FIM. Why the hell did he do that?
On June 17 2014 at thunder valley he told the AMA he had a TUE for Adderall which was not the case. Again, why would he lie to the authorities? The AMA should also have banned him for that.
I'm only 2 pages in and it's not looking good
any cop lawyer or judge will tell you ignorance of the law is no excuse for breaking the law
next time you run a red light and a cop stops you tell the cop you didn't know red means stop and see if he lets you go
The discussion about them trying to appeal their own decision to extend Stews penalty is comical. Sort of.
I understand the "nothing to lose" value of appealing something that appears hopeless, but Stew was dead in the water, Nothing about what the panel said on the doping violation is new or really controversial to anyone who made a modest effort to understand it. The novel part that will get attention is the discussion of how the business of racing is divvied up.
The guys who heard and decided this are pretty sophisticated business people, used to dealing with people who pursue their interests with excellence. They must have wondered where this group of knuckleheads came from; it can't have left a very good impression of the sport.
James could claim that he didn't read the paper work correctly / apply for the TUE because... he has ADHD.
That is yet to be determined, isn't it?
The FIM did not have to press that point, but apparently couldn't help itself.
