The CDI took the following decisions: - Mr Serenius and the Swedish National Team are disqualified from the event (IMN 505/01) Team Ice racing World Championship Final held at Inzell, Germany on 31/01-01/02/2009 and the points won at the said event are forfeited. According to this decision the classification is thus corrected. -- Mr Serenius is banned from competing in the remaining events of the 2009 FIM Ice Racing World Championship. The full decision was notified to the rider. An appeal against this decision may be lodged to the International Tribunal of Appeal (TIA) within 5 days as from the receipt of the official notification.

f-s-p Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 plus he failed(?) a doping test in Inzell.He is taking medicine for lowering his blood pressure and the FIM say he didn't inform them until too late....i.e at the doping control! All in all stupid and should have never been allowed to happen. Everyone in the ice racing community knew about his condition after last years situation in Russia when he wasn't allowed to ride in the opening round because of his medication. This is the one thing that will catch the "big" newspapers again, even as the meeting itself would never have gotten a mention. Specially as the the FIM statement doesn't say anything about the medication. Unless of course, he really was doped..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DutchGrasstrack Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Ian, the meeting on the 8th is being run by Jo Seatre (the Norwegian rider) and it will feature four British riders if everything goes to plan,as Kevin Rowand and Rob Irving are also included in the line up. This meeting in the last two years has been cancelled due to lack of ice, but this winter has been far colder. I'm the UK rider in the Oslo meeting. Just leaving for Finland now, the temperature looks good and I'm looking forward to a good weekend Just heard that this meeting (in Skarnes) has been cancelled (again) .

f-s-p Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Latest from ice racing is that the Austrian team's performance is under protest, because Franz Zorn has too professional outlook for his racing team. Also his mullett exceeds the FIM regulations, article 555.533.66447.32.a. Andy Pipkin has also filed a civil suit against him for steeling his hairstyle. It's in direct violation of street code, article 35645987,2364987.j like Vicky Pllard, solicitor for Mr Pipkin has stated in her sportsblog. Honest.

Harald Simon went over the fence in his opening ride and cartwheeled up the hill with his bike on the third turn. Svensson crashed in his fourth ride and withdrew from the meeting. Bauer injured last night and withdrew from today, Ivan Ivanov did half a lap and withdrew (again) Krasnikov only needs 9 points to win next weekend.
