Maybe just fed up with Barker he p#sses off every Promotion after a couple of months.( Plymouth excepted). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted August 6, 2022 Report Share Posted August 6, 2022 Sounds like from the article that Ipswich had to do a double change because of averages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely they have now ridden to the 75% point by where they have to make changes and they don't know how long the wait will be. There is also the angle where a rider in an originally declared 1-7 can come back in. Who knows, if he's guilty of something illegal he deserves 2 years ban, if he's swalloed too many painkillers in an attempt to ride, then he doesn't deserve to be pilloried especially when in some sports they are happy to take tens of thousands a week to sit on their backsides for 3-4 years. Hopefully the powers that be will pull their fingers out and do something as its not fair on the rider nor his 2 clubs 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do get fans that seem to think there are differences in failing a drugs Test.That is incorrect.The rider is breaking the rules. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that excess painkillers is a rule-break but certainly wouldn't warrant the same kind of ban as hard drugs as an example and if they tested and banned use of soft drugs regularly no doubt others would be caught. The issue with Speedway has always been Promoter and finacial pressure on riders to ride when in pain and probably worse now than ever with such a shortage at top end of teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickie Head Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 SCB website reports that Ben Barkers second sample has returned a positive result. His suspension is confirmed and he has to appear before the SCB in September. Guess that means another facility. Almost unbelievable.

ruckerroo Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 Whatever the whys and wherefores plymouths promising season , aided by a large dose of mickey taking with kennett have been murdered by injury and seemingly endless issues with barker. Shame as tbh they were a match for nearly anyone over 2 legs . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur54 Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 So what is the team for tonight, it's race day and nothing, i thought teams had to be confirmed day's in advance, what a joke, perhaps bomber guesting at 1- 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would surely have had it for about 24 hours and haven't updated their website from TBC since Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
