It's a great feeling tonight for us home fans, because I think it's the first meeting this season where I think we can say that we've got a chance of winning for once! Say that again! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinh88 Posted July 12, 2023 Report Share Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) Speedway must be one of the 'cleanest' sports in the world? Grigorij Laguta, Patryk Dudek, Jason Garrity all banned!

P.S - Sarcasm It’s ok not a problem, if true they will be able to reason it was in a prescription and didn’t realise it was there, so the SCB will ban them for the off season and they’ll be back at the tapes at the start of the year as if nothing really happened! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait for the facts first - if its a recreational drug then yes, but if its a painkiller then lets not be so quick to judge - I could techically overdo it with my inhaler and test positive! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cast1rn Posted July 12, 2023 Report Share Posted July 12, 2023 First time at Perry Barr, great venue and great fans. Problem number 1, the guy at the petrol station 2 mins down the road doesn't even know there's a speedway track less than a minute away. Would've been far closer if Morris had been riding, Alfie Bowtell did an outstanding job. Not allowing Marcins Mechanic on to fit the dirt deflector in heat 1 when they'd realised their mistake was a bit unfortunate. Some outstanding Passing and hard riding from Both teams. Hope the Brummies are back with us in 24 because we'll definitely be back. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnieg Posted July 12, 2023 Report Share Posted July 12, 2023 30 Sept 2022 Nathan Ablitt absent at Armadale. Belle Vue have to track one rider in 3 races 10 June 2023 Ashton Boughen absents himself from Workington. Leicester have to track one rider in three races. Nick Morris tonight gets REPLACED four times. ...... can anybody explain the difference? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rules applied here are the ones which come into play when a rider has failed or refused anti doping/alcohol testing, seemingly. Where they are excluded from the meeting with rides only able to be taken by reserves / TS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll wait for further info on what’s happened, but if that is the case then that is the course of action in the rule book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
