Just read that news clip about Tickle getting rejected for a lifting of the provisional suspension. This FIM/WADA suspension and handling of such situations is just flat stupid.
This is a call out to AMA racing and Davy Coombs. It is time to step up and dump the FIM sectioning of any US based series. We don’t need them. They are hurting our sport with their over the top suspensions and BS processes.
Take control of the US series and bring all decisions on it back home to the USA. Follow what the stick and ball sports in the US do.. their drug programs and sentences.
Act today. Not in 1 year, 2 years, or even 3 months. Get on a con call with the folks running AMA racing and get this done. DUMP THE FIM. Today.

This is impossible to accomplish in reality, but would be willing to boycott anything and everything FELD Stupidcross.
I remember the good old days watching Erin Bates on SpeedTV. Actually interviewing riders in the pits, holding a discussion- gaining insight- how bout that. Plus the tracks were better. Good times. And I'm only in my twenties... fk.
The riders have the power if they band together. No show without them.
I'd love to know how it takes so long to test sample B. Even if there is a legitimate reason, they should have the penalty ready to be announced as soon as sample B fails. And I think most of us would agree that anything beyond 12-18 months is completely insane.
Pit Row
If he got caught blood doping, I get it. If he got caught taking HGH, I get it. If he got caught with testoterone, I get it. But he got caught with dihexa-what-the-fuck-ever. The whole thing is stupid.
To answer all the cheater comments.
Yes, he and the other may very well be cheating. But the system in place to oversee and enforce the violations is broken so bad it is THE worst thing for the sport right now. If they cheat then YES then need to get disciplined. There needs to be a strong deterrent to not cheat.
But a removal for 4 years, absolutely no communication for many many months, the threat of an even stronger penalty if the racer tries to go race non FIM events is a complete joke.
Our sport NEEDS the athletes (Yes, even Broc Tickle Berluti) .So far each athlete caught has basically lost their careers. It baffles me to see the powers that be claim to want what's best for the sport yet continue to allow this to take place.
So the debate is not the cheating. It's what happens after that that needs serious change right now.
So how much doping is too much? How much HGH is too much? What if the doc scripted the HGH? When my son was younger the docs wanted to give him HGH. We declined and at about 18 years old he grew like a weed. What if he were racing? Would that have been legal? Doc's script and all.
Testosterone? Everyone has different levels. So you get a script from a doc because you're below average? Would that be legal?
If that's your profession, your whole life, you might want to know what's going to get you dinged.
But that's just me,
They don’t don’t do it in the 250s, which is really where it should be done anyway, when a kid is developing. There is a reason Pro Circiut was surprised about IV being wrong. Again, they only do it to have the appearance of doing it!
Conclusion is.....DUMP the FIM and their testing program today. Not tomorrow DC. Do it today.
Any further delay is simply political BS... The FIM hurts US racing. Cut them out of any involvement and let them screw up someone the GP series. Not ours here in the USA!
Please share your first hand experience.
Maybe we could sanction their actions of sectioning
