Rightfully so, its been 9 months and they havent said anything... 9 months is BEYOND what a reasonable suspension should have been from the start. Even if hes guilty he wasnt doing cocaine or steroids...hgh, not even adderrall. He “did” some like extra crappy preworkout does literally nothing junk that just happened to be banned. No reason at all the guy should not be lined up next week. Like him or not, believe him or not, this is a joke. If Dungey had popped u think KTM drops him and the sport leaves him out to dry? Helllll no. KTM just isnt that mad cuz they got Cooper Webb.
Where is the industry outrage? Every team is one tainted suppliment away from a DEMOLISHED team/championship/career. Tainted suppliments do happen. Youd hate to see a Tomac, Ando, Marv drink some whey protein and get boned but its a very real possibility.

What about starting a petition? Get everyone onboard.
KTM has a LOT of pull in the mx world. They didnt have to keep him but damn for the good of the sport throw your weight around a little bit when one of your riders gets the shaft.
If it was Dungey they could have made legit threats of damaging mx/sx, but shouldnt even need to go that far.

Other side of the coin tho, if he wants to race, then go race. With all these rookies coming up, and all of the backup riders like bogle or grant sitting around.. the likelyhood of him having a ride in a year or whatever it takes to get this handled is very slim. Going to canada or something now is his best option if he wants to race and not have to pay his own way. Time is ticking and the youngsters are fast and theyre coming to the 450s. Get it while you can or continue coaching.
With all that said, i hope broc wins the lawsuit quickly and all the “charges” are dropped immediately so he can get back to supercross before its too late.
What is wrong here is they are also keeping him from working. Can not run one off races, other series, or even know when he can complete in the US again. So they are keeping him from making a living, that is seriously wrong.

I also love everyone who states "He's a cheater, he got caught, F him, he got what he deserved'.
Not so fast.
Broc tested positive for methylhexanamine. Both his primary and B sample tested positive. Which IIRC both samples were taken at the same time. Ok makes sense right? It rules out any possibility that the primary sample was somehow tainted or became contaminated.
Right?
WRONG.
Broc has stated multiple times that he was taking supplements however that his supplements should not have contained any methylhexanamine. Now if WADA had been consistently testing Broc and established a baseline of his test levels of a period of time they would know exactly when the methylhexanamine entered his system, and at what levels. Why is this important?
Two words. Jon Jones. Yes the MMA fighter Jon Jones. What does that have to do with Broc? EVERYTHING.
Jon Jones, if he was racing motocross, would essentially be banned for life because his last test result came back positive for one picogram of a metabolite that is produced by the human body when using turinabol, an oral steroid. Which is what he tested positive in the first place and got suspended for. Since his initial positive test result Jon Jones has been routinely tested and has a baseline for his levels. So when he tested positive again after testing negative for a period of time, USADA was able to determine that Jon Jones was not in fact 'hot' but that the picogram detected was residual from the initial positive test result from 16-18 months ago. Yes you read that right.
Now apply that situation to Broc Tickle. Had there been baseline, routine testing done on Broc then WADA would know exactly when the methylhexanamine entered his system and in what amounts. The test result could have been the highest levels, or it could have been residuals. There's no way to know though is there? All there is is that single testing sample taken as proof.
Anyone who knows anything about the supplement's industry knows its a dirty business, in more way than one. Impurities and substances in the vats do in fact transfer over from one supplement to another. Here's another shocker. Most supplements are produced in the same facilities. Different labels on different colored bottles but its all made in the same facility. Some products are not 'clean' and dont even try to be. Hell some even advertise that they contained materials that are on the USADA/WADA banned listed. There has been multiple cross contamination of different supplements in the past. Its happened quite often in cycling and MMA.
So who is to say Broc did intentionally take a banned substance? Its a very real possibility Broc took a supplement from a clean company whose product was contaminated in the production process.
Take a list to this podcast and afterwards try and tell me you just KNOW Broc is dirty. I call complete BS on the whole situation.

Dude could make GREAT money and is in shape ready to race and still doesnt even know how long the suspension is for.
Your also incredibly dense. Nothing anyone says reaches brain matter inside your head. We know and accept he did something wrong and deserves a penalty. But they still havent even given out the penalty.
Looking for an answer more intelligent than "The riders starting a union".
What a ridiculous statement. He has several avenues to make a living, he just can't race a FIM sanctioned series. I think a court would disagree he has a fundamental right to race a FIM sanctioned series.
He accepts that he failed his test but doesn't even know the punishment and terms yet, that is NOT reasonable.
He should have already completed his time off and being ready waiting for a fill in ride right now or pitting with Wilson.
