Unbelievable that FIM doesnt allow the drug. I feel bad for jason.
6 months for the first offense, 1 year for the second. A 3rd and it's the "death penalty".

All he needs to do is post up everything he ate that day. Maybe one of those products was contaminated!
He obviously needs a bigger team of lawyers!
Was it intentional? Who knows.
At the end of the day he is professional and he should know the system being implement.
Thousands of other Pro athletes take the time to educate themselves.
I dont see MXGP riders or fans blaming drug control.
I also dont see this many positives in MXGP in such a short time.
No one but Broc is ruining his career right now, people are doing their job, Broc hasn't done his.
You become pretty decent at understanding the concept of banned substances when your livelihood depends on it.

What is this entitlement society you guys live in. He screwed up, he has to deal with it, do whatever he needs to clean his name, and come back when you're done. Sample B will most probably confirm Sample A, as it always does.
His career is over? maybe no, he can go race in Canada with Clayson. But he, willingly or unwillingly, put himself in this situation. Deal with it. What is this :"I run to mommy every time things don't go my way" in the world and 'lets ban all organisations because our guy got caught. "
Clayson kept racing before being given an exemption. #7 cheated the same way (and definitely wasn't the same without Adderall, no BT. Still a very very small numbers of US SX riders get caught (probably because a minority can afford to buy drugs), it's a pretty good number.
However the fact that they take a B sample tells me there can be errors or inconsistencies and my point was if there is any doubt he has paid the price regardless
I can understand Clayson's error in "assuming", I feel he doesn't have the means, the finances, the support, that #7 and Tickle have.
I don't accept BT's excuse, not at his level.
I wish you luck there in Canada. However it works out, let’s just hope that either it excludes the FIM or that the FIM gets its act together.
We’ve been lucky with the outdoors. AMA Pro Racing and MX Sports (mostly MX Sports) have done a great job with the series. As for SX, the FIM not so much.
Understand this: if 100% of the racers were tested 100% of the time, the starting gate would be empty.
If the goal was to catch cheaters and penalize them by pretty much destroying their careers then I guess there is no problem and everything is working as intended, I just have a hard time believing that that is what the riders and teams wanted when they asked for there to be testing.
But you could argue for the 4 year ban and why it is a good thing. Your career is basically done if you get caught with something banned. That should scare every single athlete out there. Moto or non moto athlete. The penalty for screwing something up is so incredibly high that no one would make a mistake (unless you're stupid). The majority of the athletes that would get caught of something banned would've probably tried to gain an advantage.
I would be extremely careful if i would be a pro in a sport that has testing. I would be so careful that nothing could slip into my training program. The only way i would get something banned in my system would be if i would want it there.
There are no excuses for factory riders like JS7 and Tickle.
Cooley Law is BARELY accredited. They accept over 90% of applicants, and some obscenely low number of graduates never pass the Bar and never work as attorneys.
Additionally, Broc's attorney seems to only have experience in commercial litigation, which is about as far from a drug testing case as you can get.
Long story short, if Broc gives a s**t about his career, he needs to get a real legal team. It won't be cheap, but if he's got real bulldog attorneys who have experience with athletes in cases like this, WADA is much more likely to play along with efficient testing, disclosing lab results and who tested things, etc.
The fact that he's enlisted the help of an attorney who seems to have little experience in this nuance of law, a guy who went to a TERRIBLE law school, and a guy who's only passed the Bar exam in MI but has an address in Murietta (aka he's barely practicing as an attorney), scares me.
MXers aren't the brightest bunch in the world. Evidence in the attorney that Broc hired. Entirely likely he took something and just had no idea what he was taking?
Oy. What a s**t show.
