So the Stewart question here is, does the punishment fit the crime?
Has the FIM suspended anyone for failing a drug test anywhere in the world? If they have, how long was the suspension for the first offense? If they have suspended someone and it was less than 16 months, Stewart's camp should appeal and request a race waiver until the matter has been resolved.
What I'm getting at, has a precedent been set? If one's been set, they should be consistent with their penalties.
The FIM should have clearly stated penalties for failing tests, kind of like MLB and the NFL.

It should already be outlined in the paperwork, the process and penalty along with the announcements and appeal process.
Maybe that's why he didn't have a TUE?
Simple as that. With bargaining power, leverage and people on the riders side.
The NFL has had many suspicions over turned and suspensions reduced and its all because of their union.
Do you think the football players have to fly to the other side of the world, meet in a motel 6 and have a one on one meeting with the judge, jury and executioner then wait 8 months for a verdict? Hell no.
The NFL is far more professional than that.
The FIM is a joke and it has been proven time and time again.
The AMA is no worse. Except in that instance the write a letter for James.
The Shop
SO yes, the FIM has banned someone for longer than 16 months on their first offence,
