DSC67 Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 And hopefully the FIM will call an ALL TEST in every GP round and every FIM meeting in future ! Don't see the point of that , random testing is just as much of a deterrent . If you don't consume alcohol in the lead up to a meeting or take banned substances then you wont get caught if your one of the riders called to provide a sample. Isn't not knowing weather you'll be chosen is just as effective as knowing you will be tested ? Unless you're stupid enough to take a chance that is .

Gavan Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Good to see old clown Middlo slagging the FIM again. What a buffoon this man is! And ah poor Darcy had to pay his air fare to get to Geneva! Well tell you what don't drink before a meeting and then you wouldn't have to pay for any flights this time if year. Why does old man Muddlo and people on here not understand the '45 days' thing? Idiots still expected an answer this week! Please please please let this run the whole 45 days just to watch the idiots get themselves all wound up! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lioness Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Did read and Neil is talking crap as usual. P.S what is "crab it"? You've never heard of the expression crab it.. How old are you ? nope never heard it Your not alone phillipsr and obviously we are not getting to know either. OED has it as a crustacean so ti cant through any light on the subject either but hey your age is more important than giving an answer to one of the few civil quesitions asked on here 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 It would appear that Ward is starting to realise that he might not get away with drinking the night before a GP. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BWitcher Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/11779263.Speedway__Darcy_Ward_could_take_a_couple_of_years_out___Neil_Middleditch/ Still playing the so unfair card Another shockingly poor piece of journalism and again Middleditch showing his utter incompetence. If mere fans can be aware that the process is that a written decision will be given within 45 days of the hearing then surely a: A journalist and b: Those involved should know this too. I suspect they do... however, they also know that the majority of speedway fans are like Starman. They'll listen to any old sympathy story put out, so they'll play the story that poor old Darcy is being persecuted to generate sympathy. Some of us predicted exactly this last week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salty Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Harsh words. Anyone can see that what Darcy is being put through is akin to "mental torture", which is clearly "disgraceful". It really is "dreadful", what with him having to pay to travel to Geneva for the hearing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Maybe someone could start up a Facebook group to help Darcy with the fees then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he should think about the fans who paid money to travel and watch him in that GP just to be let down. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sommelier Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Putting things bluntly, sidney you are a complete and utter numpty and starman2006 lives in loony land I do not agree with your post regarding Sidney. I think Sidney is a very knowledgeable person when it comes to speedway, he is Swindon through and through so why would he defending Ward, simple he hopes that he learns from his mistakes, and he just wish to see argueably one of the most talented riders when he parts with his hard earned cash through the turnstiles!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starman2006 Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Don't see the point of that , No you wouldn't but your all quick to jump on Darcys case.. I rest mine.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Just wondering if the social media clown old man Muddlo had any thought or concern for Darcy Ward fans , wether from Poole or not, who travelled to Latvia for a cancelled gp then had to trek the next day to another stadium only to see their idol over the limit to race. Was he worried bout them? No. The man really needs to refrain from opening his mouth. He still isn't clued up on FIM procedures which I find hilarious! He goes on twitter all outraged at the length of time and gets idiot followers backing him. Why doesn't he say its 45 days? Nothing wrong in hoping its sooner but he just peddles out the same old crap. No you wouldn't but your all quick to jump on Darcys case.. I rest mine..poor old Darcy getting tanked up before a gp and now not being able to ride! Your case holds no substance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSC67 Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 No you wouldn't but your all quick to jump on Darcys case.. I rest mine.. I'd be grateful if you could explain why testing everyone at every round would be better than following the procedures that other sports do and select two or three people at random to be tested , also I would like you to point out any posts on this thread where I've "Jumped on his case " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

500cc Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 So Middleditch is quoted as saying “Although he has done wrong and deserves to be punished" So what is all of this coming out from the establishment about faulty equipment / procedures? Because if there were faults then regardless of whether or not Ward drunk to much, if it can't be accurately measured or ascertained (not entirely sure how) then he has to be found not guilty and cleared. So exactly why should he be punished for that Mr. Middleditch? I'm actually pretty unimpressed by how the speedway world is handling this, or to be more accurate the British speedway establishments. I suspect the FIM are not exactly enamoured either. Ward deserves to be treated fairly. He also doesn't deserve to be thrown under a bus. I actually think he comes out of this affair (post alleged offence) so far with some credit, something I wouldn't say for him in the past. Regardless of the result he would be well advised to continue with this approach. Not so sure about others who haven't really helped him publicly, and have actually resulted in greater negativity towards him than would have otherwise been the case. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starman2006 Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) I'd be grateful if you could explain why testing everyone at every round would be better than following the procedures that other sports do and select two or three people at random to be tested Not hard to work out mate. It would be a massive deterant allround, if you random test then you will still get an airhead take a chance and have one to many, you do an ALL TEST then everyone will tow the line. The FIM should send out a memo to ALL the riders in the series stating that they will be tested the day of a GP round at a certain time, including the reserves. If they don't like it, they don't ride. If You want transparancy in our sport thats the only way forward. Quite simple really. Random test in the domestic leagues as done, unanounced, but the GP's should be an ALL TEST.
