Or maybe it’s because he doesn’t mind insulting his listeners while sounding like a teenage rapper wannabe. Ping has always had a pretentious air about him.
You can take HGH everyday during the season and still pass drug tests with ease. Same goes for lots of other compounds as long as you arent an idiot about it and don't use something weird with a super long half life.
We had angry Marv and angry Dunge, now we have angry Ping
In that scenario, the drug test is a condition of employment. It doesn’t happen until an offer is made and you are on the way to being hired.
It’s never “take a drug test and then we’ll talk to you”.

Except neither of these scenarios is what Ping said. He said KTM allegedly dropped Roczen from consideration after Roczen/Astephen made a stink about allegedly undisclosed required drug tests unrelated KTM talks.
Edit: it's possible KTM passed on Roczen to get ready for Sexton (and possibly Webb) in '24 and the timing with the drug test thing is just coincidence.
Well with Uptite, only if it involves Aldon
Honest question, if Ping does in fact have a solid verified source should he ignore the story? I don't know if he does or doesn't, but that sentence is why people don't take media seriously especially in this industry, the consumers of said media expect you to put bros before news. No offense to anyone in moto media because it is a balancing act that I'm glad I don't have to deal with but people wanting a reporter to censor themselves makes it a bit easier.
I was a huge fan of WTS when Langston was there. Stopped listening after he left.
Ping acts like a spoiled pretentious rich kid who has never grown up. He cannot commit to a career, and he seems to be grasping g at straws to keep the WTS platform alive.
For a person who claims to be a “journalist” he sure screwed the pooch on this one. It seems with his connections he could have reached out to every party involved and got “a real” story.
Speculating about rider contract moves is fine, and enjoyed by most fans.
And if Kenny did refuse a WADA drug test, it should also be reported, but it 100% must be accurate and there is no room for speculation. Time will tell, if he refused a WADA test, he will not be lining up at A1 and will receive a ban.
to report that based on “heard from someone” is lazy, and lacks integrity. At least try to call Kenny or his camp, try to speak to someone who was there, speak to WSX guys etc. that’s shitty work Ping.
To me, it sounded like Astaphen didn’t want him to do the test for a bunch of reasons, but he did it.
I wonder how Ping would have reacted in his racing days if a media outlet falsely reported he refused a drug test.
Ping has gone full dickhead now IMO with the way he responds to critics and followers, he has grown a very thin skin, and Astaphen handled that very unprofessionally also, he should just say what happened and leave it at that.
Well if Liver King isn’t natural then I don’t know up from down anymore
If Kenny did refuse an official WADA test, it would’ve been reported, and WADA would’ve issued sanctions.
Exactly, Joey Savatgy would be WSX champion
Proper diet and exercise. Hahahaha
That’s all fun and games, but throwing out rumours of a rider doping/cheating should always be supported by facts and not speculation.
Don't forget about his 9 ancestral tenets.......lol
Considering Honda has 1 outdoor 450 championship in the US and no Supercross championships they might want to consider replicating the "pile of flexible junk" KTM has been winning on. I think the Kawi is also considered quite a bit more forgiving (flexible) than the Honda and it seems to win a lot of championships too.
His asking price been up.
Whos going to report it? Wada?
How long did it take them to report on Stewart or Tickle?
Pit Row
Well if he did that there wouldn't be a 6 page thread on Vital in less than 12 hours, so I guess mission accomplished?
Looks like Ping is trying to grow his brand from just the WTS. I don't think his little pre-race and post race shows have taken off so maybe this is his next try? I'm sure it eats at him that the liberal Steve can be so successful so he's pulling out all the stops to take the king down
I think he sweats pure Winstrol.
You talk too much sense for the folks on here.
that’s exactly what he is confirming and throwing in the “ during the off season they aren’t as concerned” which basically sounds like, we didn’t take it just in case, but submitted to it once we were sure we were good. I don’t believe for a minute that Kenny is taking anything, but his agent was the king of contradiction with that first statement, I actually couldn’t believe what I was reading. I was pretty shocked his agent would come out with a statement like that.
I couldn't careless less about Roczen, Ping, or Roczens manager. The real story for me is Chase and Honda. They were unbelievably dialed in and gelling last year. If it wasn't for Eli it would have been one of the most boring seasons ever. Honda should be doing everything possible to keep Chase...reminds me of the time they let some guy with a #4 on his bike leave to ho to a new team.
Then again they have been very close to winning both SX and outdoors so is the bike that bad ? No of course not, they have certainly won quite a few rounds.
KTM and Star had offers on table. I think Honda had option to match their offers but didnt.
At the end of the day, It never looks good if you refuse a drug test, no matter what the reasons are.
Crazy. You think they would've learned their lesson with Ricky.
ML, I downvoted 'cause I'd love for you all to get along together, that is all! I'm a fan of Pulp / Matthes, Whisky Throttle / Ping, and Vital / ML512, as you all bring a ton of great info and content to us. Keep up the great work!
Sexton is no Ricky
It wasn't too long ago when a certain GP journalist that used to post here was permanently banned for saying that Barca had signed with Yam to race GP's...that seems rather minor when you compare it to the clickbait journalists we have in Moto today...it's a sad state of affairs when these CB journalists feel that to succeed they have create sensational headlines of half truths and outright false statements to be relevant...
Aldon wouldn’t be the only one who uses PEDs
Post a reply to: Sexton to KTM confirmed?
