dazzafl Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 2 years for refusing a drug and alcohol test is that enough of a ban ?? this sport is so dangerous that i think refusing is worth a life time ban obviously cannot be trusted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably on a par with what he would get for failing one, so seems about right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cheese Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 Whilst I would agree that failing/refusing a test is worthy of a life ban I think in Boxall's case his history and reputation means it probably is anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 Promotions shouldn't touch him with a barge pole given his history. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 Im still staggered that there has been no statement by Boxall, no apology, no excuses just a wall of silence. Personally i would like to see failure as 2 years refusal as 3 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, especially if as reported elsewhere the refusal was at a track before he intended to ride in a meeting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DEAN MACHINE Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 Is he still riding in the british masters grasstrack this weekend ? As grasstrack is a different sport and he has been banned by the SCB and not the ACU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't these bans be even more effective if there was a linkage between the SCB / ACU licensing and the DVLA? Maybe some legal eagle might want to look into how such a linkage could be established? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there isn't there should be. Can anyone confirm that there is a SCB / ACU & DVLA link. A terrible oversight if there is not one. He should get a life ban for refusing a test when he was intending to ride in a meeting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DEAN MACHINE Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 There is also the point of he hasn’t actually failed any drug test, he just refused to take one, we know he is guilty but even in court it would be hard to prove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well not necessarily. There's far less of a tolerance for drink and drugs in competition testing than what's legally acceptable to drive on the road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE DEAN MACHINE Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 I want to see the tests go further, some of the top riders get tested at home at any time, obviously cost comes into it but I would like to see at least 2 riders get tested at every meeting, I’m sure riders would be more than happy doing that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityrebel Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 I was at Kent on Monday, and it certainly was a bizarre situation. It reminded me of being at Eastbourne when Kelly Moran was a little worse for wear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
