Does anyone know what is happening with Drabik? Is he banned or is he still able to ride this year? The last translated articles i posted are a few pages back(early May) he is certainly at present not banned however it looks as if the hearing will be held early June so that he and Wroclaw will know before the season start if he is going to be banned- which seems to be the likely decision.

PHILIPRISING Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 Poland’s PGE Ekstraliga took a giant stride forward in its restart efforts after riders, mechanics, club staff and officials all tested negative for Covid-19.Nearly 500 people were tested with no positive tests – a huge victory for the competition, which is set to launch behind closed doors on June 12, with practice sessions set to get underway on Friday. Strict controls to limit the spread of the virus have been put in place and foreign riders who do not live in Poland were required to spend two weeks in quarantine before entering Polish society.With this period now completed, clubs gathered their riders for mass testing – costing the PGE Ekstraliga 200,000 PLN (over £40,000). PGE Ekstraliga president Wojciech Stepniewski is delighted with the results, but insists there will be no room for complacency as teams and officials work to bring the sport back safely. He told the league’s official website: “This is great news and we are very happy above all from a purely human point of view that all tested players, mechanics as well as club employees, functionaries and referees are all 'clean'.But we will not rest on our laurels and we want our sanitary regime to work well in the next stages of the thawing of Polish speedway. There is nothing else for us to do but prepare for the start of training and then PGE Ekstraliga matches.” Measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus include matches taking place without fans, with strict limits in place on the number of workers allowed into the stadium and pit area. Riders will be limited to one mechanic each and the body temperature of anyone entering the pits will be checked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m confident to say that there was nothing wrong with the substance he was taking. He was hydrated and if the substance was illegal we’d know. The method itself was against the doping rules. So it was not about doping as in drugs, but as in methods used. His blood was altered so there is a slight chance that what ever traces of something was there faded away. I’m from Finland so I know about blood manipulation. google Lahti 2001 to find out more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f-s-p Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 Just now, racers and royals said: I think we need to go further back than that to Lasse viren in 1976 I was gonna type that as well but decided not to as I wasnt even born then. I think we were a leading country in blood manipulation in the 70’s and Paavo Nurmi wasnt all that clean either in his time. But I think doping was banned later on, maybe early 80’s. Anyway, Norway is now #1 in doping. #JustSaying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
