Starman2006 Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 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. Really, ive read the statement. Darcys back in a months time, he will want to move on from the massive mistake,whether he rides for us or gets loaned out. Perhaps so should you and your unhappy little army, but i won't be holding my breath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Middlo and Ford were lied to by Darcy though. Fact remains that anyone who defended Darcy Ward is now made to look quite daft.........and that is the fault of only one person Darcy Ward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostwalker Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 11. 11. The grounds put forward by Mr Ward in the submission for lifting the provisionalsuspension were, in summary, that the Specified Substance was not performance-enhancing and notintended to be, nor was it a masking substance, that Mr Ward was able to identify how theSpecified Substance came to be in his person, that the circumstances of the consumption of the Specified Substance were exceptional and wholly out of character for Mr Ward, and that he wastherefore eligible for the elimination or reduction of penalty under Article 10.4 CAD. Uhm yes, I think anyone knows that as well, Darcy drank allot of alcohol and I find it surprising that he/his legal team actually thought that this would be a mitigating circumstance.

It's an accepted mitigating circumstance within the regulations & was obviously going to be leapt on by the straw clutching legal team.

Dornier Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Well contrary to what certain people on here said at the time. I think the FIM have done a thorough job.. Can`t wait to here Ward`s reply to his dwindling fans.....( all three of them ). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWitcher Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 11. 11. that the circumstances of the consumption of the Specified Substance were exceptional and wholly out of character for Mr Ward, This is the bit that is absolutely hilarious! Drinking alcohol, wholly out of character for Mr Ward!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave69 Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Ward is clearly a bigger cock than many of us credited him with.He must have been absolutely minging the night before. So basically Darcy pretty much lied to his fans all the way through it. Being over the UK drink drive limit he must have had a heavy night. So where is this "off duty policeman" Er,he's off duty clearly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Central Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 (edited) He must have been absolutely minging the night before. . Indeed he must. And how many of those who went on to defend him over the months since. Saw it, heard it. and condoned it. On the night and over that weekend. And still silently, or vocally, on social media or in print Have canvassed for his acquittal or leniency. Whilst having that knowledge all along. Quite shameful. .

Not possible according to the valid rules at the time of his offence. 24 months was the maximum possible suspension length according to those rules. However I agree that he got off lightly and I cant understand how Mr Weston (Darcy's lawyer?) can claim that "the fault of Mr Ward was very low and that the latter should not get more than a reprimand or alternatively, a period of ineligibility “of a few months rather than many”." (*97). Darcy's fault were 100%, it is not possible to drink so much alcohol by mistake. Edited May 15, 2015 by Ghostwalker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uhm yes, I think anyone knows that as well, Darcy drank allot of alcohol and I find it surprising that he/his legal team actually thought that this would be a mitigating circumstance. His legal team will have worked on what he told them and ultimately under HIS instruction, that what he/ Ford paid them for. An awful lot of time and money wasted when could he have come clean and just admitted it. Taken his punishment like man. But no, he had to lie and lie, possibly, but more likely probably, got other people to also lie on his behalf. Wouldn't be the first time either All this episode does is leave a nastier taste in the mouth and shows Ward, in an even poorer light - if of course that's possible! I'd forgotten how naive and gullible some people are, to be taken in by the crap that came from his camp, I could tell it was bollox from day one!

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm aware of the 2 year maximum and that is why I said 4 years.He was clearly taking the urine out of the FIM and should have got hammered.

YerRopes Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 The only thing here that you have any grounds complaining about is the fact that Darcy wasn't honest about how much he drank (and of course the fact that he drank at all!). Surely that's more than enough for starters... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YerRopes Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 It's quite clear that other than not being honest about how much he drank, Darcy has been consistent and honest throughout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Central Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 (edited) You have to laugh.His defenders are deluded enough to claim he only lied about JUST ONE thing.But even then ...They agree that the lie was about how much he drank !So, something faiirly central to the whole matter !Eh?Un-bloody-believable..
