Personally I think it'd be far easier to make quick gains by mechanically cheating before pumping yourself full of performance enhancers

Saw James Pearson take his cut off from his wrist immediately after the race while going down the back straight after a heat win last night, not saying it's right or wrong, but if it's a rule, enforce it or do away with it if you're not going to enforce it

IainB replied to PhilTheAce's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Leicester will put a statement out on their website soon... surely... won't they? Even if it's just a repost of the SCB Statement -
You'll find that most people on here will agree that 4 riders racing 4 laps is a good a spectacle as it's ever been, probably the best it's ever been. It's just let down massively by those that administer the sport. Some will point to the positives of Oxford & Workington, while casting a blind eye to the numerous clubs that are closing at an alarming rate over the last few years

IainB replied to Cast1rn's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
I did post this before you guys read the statement out. I'm not entirely sure any other broadcast organisation would have just read a statement and then not mentioned it again but that's obviously your prerogative. Fair play, you did read the statement out and like you say speculation is not something you should be getting into... that's probably left to us on here Would have been nice to have had a riders perspective on the whole drug testing procedure though, especially from one who had so recently fallen foul of it, that after all was the story of the night. Ben Barker, understandably, may not have wanted to talk about it, but there were many other riders and officials available on the night, maybe they closed ranks, I don't know -
I don't know, I'm just a punter who turns up, pays and goes home, I'm not party to all the rumours, only what I read on here really. There seems several types of potential offence, recreational, performance enhancing, medication or faulty test. I can't think that unless you were near the pinnacle of the sport you'd be using performance enhancers. Ignorance is no defence for medication and then there's recreational. Speedway, being an extreme sport, naturally attracts those seeking the high of an adrenaline rush... maybe that's just not enough for some riders. This needs stamping out... and right now. You'd hope to hear of some elevated testing from now until the end of the season from the authorities

British Speedway has many problems... but does it have a drugs problem? 3 riders busted in less than 2 months

IainB replied to Cast1rn's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
If you can ignore the fact that there were only 3 Plymouth riders on view tonight that was a pretty good finish for them. I can't really ignore that fact... so meh Berwick could claim they were robbed with the Hans Andersen exclusion which should probably have been a 5-0 Berwick were poor for not taking Plymouth to the cleaners -
Touché Nicely done

At last! Some speedway to talk about... interesting one that, if the ref hadn't stopped it so prematurely, that may well have been a 5-0 to Berwick as Howarth may not have been able to finish with a busted back wheel -

Basically an expletive laden attack on somebody who criticised him on Facebook. In any other walk of life he'd have been sanctioned for it... it's Richie Worrall though, he's a laugh isn't he? -
