Devil Posted August 8, 2022 Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 Absolutely ridiculous, the result should be only a matter of days surely, Ben, if innocent has lost a lot of earnings because of this fiasco, if guilty the. He deserves the outcome but at least let the guy know one way or another 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did say in last weeks SS that it could be from pain killers he was taking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the result is the issue. Don't think any dispute he's had something in his system legal or otherwise. It's whether the bspl are accepting of his explanation or not that is what's probably causing the delay imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Lion Posted August 8, 2022 Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 (edited) Ben failed a drugs test & will be banned so he is not losing earnings nor can he have any claim to compensation. The B sample taken is merely to dictate what illegal substance was in his system to then decide what form of punishment will be handed to Ben. If its recreational or performance enhancing drugs then his ban will be much longer then if it was an excess or banned painkillers. Some painkillers are banned in sport on safety grounds due to side effects such as drowsiness which is far from safe & endangering the other 3 riders on the track at the time so it’s reckless to sign into a meeting as safe to ride if you have taken such strong painkillers which won’t go in Ben’s favour.

lbw Posted August 8, 2022 Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 (edited) Anyone competing in sport should av a liddle common sense to check that even if they take a cold medicine it doesn't contain anything on the banned list. Surely it's as simple as asking the speedway powers that be or the organisation that deals with sport testing can I use a certain product for example a cold. Not rocket science is it?

If it was inconclusive he would have been asked to take another test. Nobody can come on here & defend Ben , he broke the rules (knowingly or unknowingly) so now must serve his punishment. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DEAN MACHINE Posted August 9, 2022 Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 Whilst on the subject of barker over the weekend I learnt that drug tests have to random, even if someone gives a name of a rider that is suspected of taking drugs to the testers they can’t target that rider, I suppose they could say it was random but they know a certain rider was in a certain race or meeting 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
