Bagpuss Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Perhaps Gomolski should be re-assessed along with anyone else returning to the the EL, five should be the absolute minimum for anybody who isn't coming up from the PL. But the fact is that he hasn't been and anybody could sign him on his current average. My guess though is that there are commitment issues which put teams off, is he still U21?

Crazy robin Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) No it doesn't answer my question, and i don't think you know either.. Protocol, 6 months to produce the result of a simple blood test that can be produced and turned around overnight if need be. Take it send it an recieve the result what have they done, stuck it in a fridge for 6 months ?. Now, before the usual suspect/s jump all over me, Darcy has still made a rod for his own back, and put himself in this stupid position, but, there is no way in a million years it should take nothing like as long as it has. IMO the FIM are dragging their feet, and although yes i say again for the Focally challenged, Darcy has made a rod for his own back, but he should have known where he stands months ago. IF, Darcy loses his livelyhood due to the FIM's inabillity, to produce a written statement outlining all the results, or the procedure was not performed correctly from the get go then the FIM deserve to take one hell of a rap.See if you can get this through your head as the FIM have acted this way in taking a long time to deal with such issues for years & Darcy is not being treated any different to any of the riders previously. There will be counter arguments from both parties which will take time by the others party to answer & that is why it takes so long. Maybe Middlo should look at the other cases before going for the sympathy vote all the time. Now to stop you saying I'm not answering I have a busy few days away so won't be on here till I get back.

Pirates Of Poole Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) This is down to the BSPA to change this rule about riders returning with low averages after improving massively in Europe. They haven't so riders like Gomolski are still available on 3.90 average. I must question why other clubs have not looked at him this winter? It is clear Gomolski is available to sign for ALL Elite league clubs not just Poole! Edited February 22, 2015 by Pirates Of Poole 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it still doesn't take away the fact that a result of a blood test which can, be turned around overnight if need be reguardless of whether its Darcy or uncle tom cobbly cannot be made avaliable 6 mths down the line, that, its the pathetic part. you have to admit that yourself, that stinks.

While most clubs are out looking for cheap and cheerful, Ford is working out who best to sign to win. Thats why Ford will sign the likes of Gomolski while the rest of us scramble about for the likes of Woodward! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamish McRaker Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 So who is the FIM accountable to? Is there a higher authority? I cant think of any other governing body above it......so presume it would be the relevant Justice system? International Sport arbitration court or something similar?

Yeh it just might be that Darcy although has made a rod for his own back, may also be in the right !! WADA can step in if they feel Darcy's ban is too light... He's got to get a ban yet, don't run before you can walk !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

remembertheracers Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) Brilliant rider, but too often a bad boy. There must be many who want to teach him a lesson and I suspect that is the case. That may not end with the FIM, but also with our border agency, instructed by politicians, who hope to win May's general election, though I doubt any one party will win. I love watching him race, but if you were a UKIP or possibly right wing Tory voter would you give him a Visa to earn his living here? Like chefs and waiters in Indian restaurants is the need to have a self employed star from an ultra minority sport any more important. Fraid not - call me a cynic.

Dickie Head Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 On the basis that Ward is going to be banned, would Matt Ford have time to look at Plan G and release Watt + North and rebuild a strong enough top five with Holder, Janowski, Pr Pawlicki and two others?

Popular Post chris4gillian Posted February 24, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) Effectively yes your right, but neither can I.. He's been SUSPENDED not BANNED (two completely different things) since last August! And the FIM take as long as their own procedures allow so FFS read that, digest that and accept that once and for all! I, like you, would love Darcy to ride for us in the coming season, however unlike you I will not ignore what the silly twerp did yet AGAIN and harp on for months on end on about how harshly he's being treated because 'he's learned his lesson'. He did the crime so he now has to do the time. END OF. And while I'm writing, as I posted on the Poole Forum, we should feel very lucky that Magic is prepared to be labelled as second best to Darcy Ward if he is part of the 'other options' which Muddlo has stated in the press Poole are considering. I think it's widely accepted that he is this 'other option' so maybe you could start to sing Magic's praises rather than bang on and on and on about "poor old Darcy Ward"!!!
