Piece from Matthes on what's up with Clason and trying to deal with WADA on his positive test for Adderall.
I am 100% for drug testing in our sport but it's clear that the Olympic four year cycle ban shouldn't be standard for all sports, plus there's a serious lack of communication between WADA and the athletes.

But he shouldn’t have taken adderall until he had the TUE in hand.......Homeschooling can be dangerous or in my case the Florida Public education system is dangerous

Why is the testing necessary? For the safety of the athlete? If that's the case I guess maybe they shouldn't be ramping motorcycles 20ft.....
Btw, for the real drug users, a lot of things have come to light in the UFC. Now the cheaters are taking enhancers that remain in the system for only a few hours. While training, they take them all the time, full well knowing if they get a surprise test that they can wait out the 3 to 4 hours it takes for them to test "clean".
I'm sure the meetings to discuss PED testing went something like this:
"Hey bro, should we test the riders for PEDs?"
"yeah dude, killer idea"
"how should we do it?"
"who fuqin knows man LOL let's use those people that do it for the Olympics haha"
"BRILLIANT!"
7) how can we get the riders to pay for it?
I'm typically all for the "follow the rules" stuff but come on. This appears to be a huge mistake. This is nothing like JS7's situation from a few years ago.
Your logic is flawed. Cade never asked them to change anything. He's not disagreeing with having to get a TUE. He basically got boned because someone didn't do their job.
Someone that knows how the paperwork needs to be filled out, the time frame it usually takes to get an answer and the process to challenge a ruling. Seems like common sense, maybe that's the problem.
Pit Row
My guess is that he could maybe race in Australia if that's something that interests him and if he could get a ride. Other than that I don't think there's other series big enough for him to make a living.
Hopefully things get sorted asap and that he won't be banned for 4 years. That's just rediculous. FXR offering him a part-time job is another reason why I like that company. They truly care about the people they support. If you're looking for a new set of gear consider them.
Maybe he's in it just for their roadside assistance, like most of us.
Then they randomly drug test him. You have to think they only tested him because he filed the paper work saying he's prescribed Adderall. Whens the last time they randomly drug tested a privateer that wasn't even making all the main events? Total BS, in my opinion.
On that note, I've communicated my frustrations with WADA via their contact form. We can all sit here and bitch about them and feel bad for Clason but that does no good. Maybe if we speak up, they will at least care about responding to the guy. Here is the link.
