The Truth About WADA and What's Going To Happen

For all those who are not from the great country that is Down Under, this might be a bit of a shock. Sit down, and especially if you are a JS7 fan, get out your tissues. For the past two years we have experienced ASADA (Australia's version of USADA, both under the branch of WADA) holding the two most successful sporting codes by the scruff of the neck and proceeding to drown two teams in accusations.

It was labeled 'the darkest day in Australian sport', February 7th of 2013. The two teams, the Cronulla Sharks from the NRL and the Essendon Bombers from the AFL, were both found to be using illegal substances to boost their players abilities on the field. The Cronulla Sharks did not battle against the charges and after almost two years of ASADA gaining evidence, the players were given a 18 month ban which was back-dated to the 'darkest day in Australian sport', meaning the players only ended up missing 3 weeks. That's right, 3 weeks at the end of a season they ended up coming last in. Essendon are still contesting the charges and ASADA is looking to go hard on them.

Considering both ASADA and USADA are under the WADA code, we can safely assume most of their rules are the same. So, sorry James Stewart fans, I have good and bad news. Expect him to be able to race, but this cloud of USADA is going to stay over him for a long period of time and will finally strike. If he choses to accept it like the Cronulla Sharks he may get away with a very small ban, it's all up to him. But for now, I guess you could say he needs to focus on A1.

I read last week an article about Major League Baseball testing from 2014 and there were several players that failed for Adderal and they got 25 games so roughly 20% of the season.

I've run the gamet of emotions on this topic since he tested positive. For a long time, I was angry about the lack of information being put out there for the fans of the sport. I am now to the point of not really caring if he shows up or not at A1. There will be plenty of other great racers there ready to do battle, and I will be on the edge of my seat enjoying every minute of it with or without him.

But they have drug testing policies with specific punishments that were agreed upon between the league and a player's association.

Exactly the point and I would imagine a penalty has already been enforced. Now the appeal process starts and that is why there has been no explanation for all involved. In my honest opinion and if you read what Transworld has written between the lines. I would think JS7 is done as far as sx goes anytime soon.

Not to mention that penalty by no means destroys their shot at a world series title that year.

If you mean WADA appealing the FIM's penalty, then he would be free to ride in the mean time provided he's not banned by the FIM. Skimming through the anti-doping code there are a few possible routes of appeal, all of which could add delays and maybe that's what's going on.

Riders can appeal to CAS the results of the granting or denying of a TUE by WADA.
International level riders can appeal a penalty direct to CAS.
WADA can also appeal to CAS if they feel the FIM have not reached a decision as quickly as they should have.

Legal fees are going to be big!
