1. This isn’t a US only series, it’s an FIM world championship.
2. The US Nationals is a US only series, but it uses USADA who subscribe to the same Anti-Doping Code. Maybe their process is different but the penalties aren’t.
You consistently blame WADA but consistently fail to read what others have said. Riders, teams and OEM’s asked for testing. WADA/USADA was chosen by the respective organising bodies as their regulatory body, with full knowledge of the testing regime and the penalty code.
Despite the opinions of a small number of people on this forum, most people have little to no tolerance for drugs in sport. That’s why their is outrage when cheats are caught, and the penalties are severe.
As for contaminated samples and mishandling, that has been raised by really good lawyers in a number of cases with no positive results...moreover, most of the athletes that raised it later admitted they doped.
So all the US riders and all the team managers were begging and asking for this? Yeah, okay. I find that hard to believe.
1. How is a series that only occurs in one country a "world" series? How many rounds of the AMA SX and AMA MX Nationals occur outside of the US (other than the Toronto round)?
What ought to happen is the WADA can do the testing and the AMA can levy penalties (not the USADA - which is the WADA). Or an agreed up board of MX mgmt. Australia, Canada, and Europe can do the same thing.
For sports like tennis and the Olympics, which compete all over the world, then the WADA can assess penalties.
After all is said and done, though, it is the promoters' show and they can hire whoever they want to run it. But I can voice my disagreement because the deal stinks, they know it, but are too lazy, complacent, and punked out by the OEMs FIM etc to do anything about it.
As far as who was asking for testing, I don’t have first hand knowledge but I’m pretty sure GuyB has, in the past, written what I wrote above.

In saying all that I hope that the FIM/AMA can come up with a testing organization that they can work with to come up with penalties that make since. Failing a drug test for the first time should not end your career.
Tickle, on other hand, says that he didn't take the substance in question, at least knowingly. That eliminates any of the element of not fully understanding the TUE process or anything else like that.
Don't take banned substances.

The "levels too high" rumor seemed to be one of those things that started as a "what if" and morphed into an accepted fact by some. There just doesn't seem to be any real evidence of it being true.
Don't get caught.
It's a simple as this. They say you failed the test you are suspended , fight it if you want but as soon as the B sample is tested you are done.
I'm all for punishing an athlete for breaking the rules , but I totally disagree with the length of suspension . it is WAY to long , and just not right.

So I dont understand why Froome can compete but Tickle cant.
They don't know where it came from?? That is preposterous, quit the shit.
It's not spooky if you just do the right thing.
