No it isn't. If they can't be bothered to enter it, then tough.

Didn't bother Tai though

Funny isn't it. Every rider commenting on the track tonight... which they didn't in Warsaw. But, Greg and Nicki are doing well, so all is good!

A good sign of a man, indeed a good sign of a likeable, sensible human being is having the ability to apologise when you are wrong. I've done it on this forum as have many others. It's not hard, you simply hold your hands up and say I got that one wrong. Everybody moves on and you come out of it with some credibility. Instead you choose to continue to act like a complete p***. Grow up!

Yes, it's really very simple. For a rider to be given a new visa, he requires to have achieved a rolling average of 7 or above. Source, the rules as per the BSPA site. Proctor didn't achieve it and therefore has been rejected for a new visa.. Source, UK Immigration, this thread, Sheffield Speedway and the fact he is on his way out of the country! That is it. There is no need for any other source. What anyone may or may not have said is completely and utterly irrelevant. All that matters is what is in writing.

No it isn't. If you haven't grasped the difference between riding as a heat leader and a second string in this system I despair. At second string musielak would be a 7 Pter He wouldn't be likely. It's a completely different situation. Riding at reserve or second string you have easier races to gain confidence in. Not pitched in against tough opponents in every heat.

As Ward was out with Monster Joe he was clearly in on the lie too as he will know exactly how much Ward was drinking.

As a new promotion I would be speaking directly to the immigration authorities. All this 'he said' 'they said' crap is just covering up negligence. Sheffield signed the rider. Sheffield didn't ensure they knew the full picture. Sheffield are at fault.

Let us not forget the number of times that posters such as Skidder (strangely quiet) have smugly reminded us since the original ban was announced, that the full reasons had not yet been divulged and that the appropriate time to comment would be when they are. Seems Skidder was taken in as well and there is no bombshell there for Poole fans to grasp and protest innocence... in fact quite the opposite, it's far worse than any of us imagined. I do look forward to Darcys promised statement though!

That's because the reasons were a lie. It was soon discovered he obtained the news that upset him 2 weeks earlier.

Sadly, it has made absolutely no difference to the ones taken in. Those with enough intelligence to actually understand the report are now keen to say "Nothing to see, move on".. despite some of them for weeks being eagerly reminding us that we haven't had the 'reasons' yet (Skidder). The others (Starman et al) can't comprehend that they've been made an utter fool of.

Funny isn't it. The Ward lackeys have been quick to remind us that we have to wait for the 'reasons' from the FIM. Now they have been made public, they now want to push it under the carpet. There is a LOT new to see here. If you're going to comment, go and read the statement. It fully describes who conducted the test and the procedures carried out along with their credentials. The trial was delayed by Ward. They requested information thus causing the trial to be delayed. They then complained at a further delay, before then requesting more time themselves.. which blatantly exposed their complaint was just attention seeking. As said, it's clear you haven't even read the full report.. but you're quick to spout of about it..

Everything that needs to be known is in the public domain. Proctor didn't meet the requirements for a new visa. End of story. Anything else is just trying to deflect the blame.

This is the bit that is absolutely hilarious! Drinking alcohol, wholly out of character for Mr Ward!!

Not so, Darcy has promised a statement. How do you feel Starman, that you have been lied to throughout this whole process by Darcy, Muddlo and Ford? Treated you like a right sucker haven't they?

Ah we would, but young Darcy has promised us a written statement to address some things once the reasons for the verdict were given. So perhaps you should direct your comments towards him? You're quite happy to be treated like a mug, lied to and manipulated. Each to their own

Of course not. However, it hasn't made the slightest bit of difference as you can see from Starman and others posts on the Poole thread.

Planet Earth, which is clearly not where you are. Not remember the #FIMjoke hashtags used by Middlo on Twitter when the hearing was put back? Not remember the constant bleating about how unfair it was on him the hearing was being delayed? Yet lo and behold:- - 19 Dec Ward's defence declare Ward hasn't had sufficient time to prepare his case and request a postponement. Clearly you don't remember the oft reported and put forward story of the test not following the proper procedure.. the 'off duty policeman' story.. All false. The test procedures were followed correctly. We now also know Ward in a written statement claimed to have had 1 drink with his meal. When questioned at the hearing, this turned into 7 vodkas.... So no, not everything we have heard from Ward's side matches the statement.. However, everything that those who have been saying all along that Wards camp has been talking baloney DOES match the statement. You can wriggle and squirm as much as you want, you have nothing to hide behind now, the full facts have been revealed.

Actually he WAS over the legal limit for driving in this country. He was tested at 0.52. Also tested were Greg Hancock and Jarek Hampel. Their test results were 0.00. We're not in the realms of speculation now, or being subjected to the never ending stream of baloney from the Ward camp. The truth has now been revealed.

Ah but we do know the facts.. he found out about the breakup a few weeks before.. so the defence was a lie. Just as his claims he only had one drink with his dinner was a lie. Just as the claims that the FIM were delaying the meetings was a lie. Just as the claims that the tests weren't conducted in the correct manner and by a qualified official were a lie. When someone feeds you a pack of lies over a prolonged period of time they are going to get some stick.

Here we go again. No. The delays were requested by Wards camp because THEY weren't prepared. The guy and his team have continually lied and misled gullible fans throughout the whole process. Many of those gullible fans have thrown all sorts of accusations at the FIM and we'll now see how many of them are mature enough to hold their hands up and say they were wrong. Not many of course as we are already seeing. Agree with much of that Sidney, except when its for their own personal gain... Like you I hope Ward know knuckles down and goes on to enjoy a successful career... we'll all benefit from that!

People seem to be forgetting.. the family home had been put up for sale! Not sure anything of us could cope if our parents decided to sell their house. Has this ever happened to anyone before? Did you cope? However this confuses me.. Initially he was stated he had hardly drunk anything.. but at the same time had given an excuse as to why he had been drinking..

Correct. However it simply confirms the people around him are as much of the problem as Darcy himself.

So, over on the Darcy Ward thread in the International Section the full statement from the FIM is revealed. Darcy wasn't a little drunk.. he was p****d. Over the legal drink drive limit. All the bleating from the Ward camp about the injustice of the delayed hearings.. LIES. Wards camp requested the delays. Darcy claimed in his written statement he had one drink with his meal.. followed by another later on at the hotel.. then another couple (one in his room). Under questioning this turned into he had 7 vodkas with his meal!

Darcy isn't the brightest tool in the box either... In his written statement he claims he had ONE drink whilst eating his meal.. which when questioned at the hearing turned into 7 vodkas!!! It also shows us the utter lies we have been fed by the Ward camp.. the bleating about the hearing being postponed when it was WARDS camp that requested them to be postponed. Now we can look forward to Darcys promised statement!
