Anti doping is carried out by a 3rd party agency, you don't get the track Doctor or Neil Vatcher with a chemistry kit that's why it's expensive

So someone from the testing agency has to be at every single meeting staged, then how do you ensure that 14 riders do their sample without outside influence/tampering? Presumably they need to be held in a zone until all tests are completed etc given speedways facilities I'd imagine that's going to be very difficult.

There's not mandatory testing in boxing either, Matchroom are currently considering it for their fighters/shows, apparently the costs are absolutely astronomical though albeit these are blood tests not just urine. Mandatory testing is beyond the scope of speedway currently, who would pay?

There won't be mandatory testing of every rider at every meeting without a contract with an independent testing agent that would cost far in excess of what would be affordable for the sport Matchroom are currently considering introducing this for all of their fighters using VARDA, the rumours suggest a cost north of 20k per fight although this is bloods not just urine. Does anyone know who carries out the speedway testing currently?

Wolves have confirmed we aren't running pick away

If Bewley returns to BV you might have a shout at getting Tai to do a full season at Lynn Definitely worth an enquiry

They'll lose the semi....

The only sensible choice if Tai isn't back They've got a big problem in the away leg though

If Leicester make it I believe Sheffield could use Doyle in the home leg only

Was it Stead's idea?

Any whispers on the potential "sale" of the Lions?

Like you can switch form on and off? Hopefully we'll give a good account of ourselves in the league match at Owlerton a place where we've had our backsides handed to us several times Inc our last play off appearance there

I've absolutely no idea but I'd personally be surprised if Eurosport would be interested in renewing the domestic TV contract when it expires, when is that? This seasons coverage seems to have consisted of the bare minimum with costs having been cut.

Might have been better saying which clubs own the freehold of their stadium or a lease longer than say 10 years

Cup matches aren't televised

A good way of increasing costs or postponements

So Leicester would pay Batchelor something for each match they ride within 28 days of him being released in addition to the 7 riders they already need to pay?

Last night's programme "It's hard and emotional to accept the harsh reality of no speedway in 2024 but here we are in late August and that prospect looms ominously" 2 October dates added to the fixture list

What's the penalty for pulling out mid season?

So you just submit a team that is under that and say anyone else is unavailable? It's not like the BSPL can ring every available rider and check It's simple the fixture goes ahead or Ipswich are awarded the points

There can't be. There isn't a definition of competitive/non competitive nor can one be practically written, what's the cut off point?

He nearly quit but didn't and in fact wouldn't rule out working with Leicester/Dixon again Not much of a story really
