Will we ever see Morris racing over here again, long two years ahead for him.

Would be 31 at that point. Who knows what state UK speedway will be in by then, there is usually always someone looking for riders.

The sport should not welcome back drug cheats.IMO.If he comes back he should be drug tested before every meeting at his expense.

Morris hasn't been found guilty of failing a drug test though, he has pleaded guilty of refusing to provide one, there will be some who see that as an admission of a failed one had he chosen to take of course.

One question though, do we know the reason why he refused to take a test.

Tend to be of the opinion people make mistakes and deserve a second chance. Being from a deprived area where drugs are rife might have a part in that though

That sounds like an excuse. It shouldn't matter where you come from, knowing right from wrong isn't geographical.

Come on ,maybe not in law .He never got off with his excuse.So if he came back and they pick him again for a test what happens if he refuses just like this time (for no reason)

I am told from a very reliable source, or should I say from someone that should know what went on, Nick apparently could not pee to take the second test, and yes the first test allegedly showed positive.

2 years down the line, either most will have forgotten or, he'll be a victim of harassment. ;)

If that was the case, when he was ready to take a pee, he should've provided one that could've cleared things up. I have actually heard a rider saying the same thing (about not being able to pee) but, surely drinking a gallon of water might've speeded things up?

And if so do they get a 'facility'?

A question I asked a few weeks ago. Is there a time limit on these "facilities"? Can the Brummies do what they've done for the past year and a half, just run with a guest til the end of the season?  I'd have thought that they'd have had enough time to find an alternative permanent signing by now, but maybe guests are cheaper? I dunno.  But then again with only 4 meetings until their season is over, is it worth signing someone just for those? No properly satisfactory solution, I fear.
