I know I can do most things better under the influence. And look at George Best/Maradona, prime examples And Bradley Wiggins … He won Tour de France when allegedly under the influence of drugs…. When I took drugs I couldn’t even find my bike let alone ride it 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all they have an expert in the matter in Ben Barker on comms The information did not come to light until 3 minutes before we went on air. At that point there was no official statement, we were simply informed they had been removed on medical grounds. Once the SCB statement was released we made sure to read it to inform the fans. Anything prior to that is speculation and we are not looking to get into that. So yes, any other broadcast organisation would have done exactly that, went by the book not rumour. 33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not defending Steve or Richie but let's wait for the outcome of the results then judge them if guilty or not... At the end of the day it is down to the rider to know what they are taking legally/illegally they are meant to be professional. I assume when taking out a license there is a box or something that says you agree/are aware of drugs policy. If you don’t know ask, Alexa, Google, your team management a Dr. There really isn’t an excuse, if it is pain killers because of an injury should you be riding in the first place? I have seen comments from riders past and present that this is the tip of the iceberg and they could name plenty of other riders using banned substances, so how many officials are also aware of this but turn a blind eye? Yet again though it is the paying fans be it at the track or BSN that are ripped off by these situations, they have paid to view a meeting with a minimum of 12 riders, but have been left with this situation. Would it not be obvious that a rider coming back from a ban for failing a drug test previously, would be “randomly” tested more frequently?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think is should be obvious, yes you are aware what is happening but if for any reason you got a name wrong or an implication is made that turn out to be false or an error you would leave yourselves wide open to being sued. Therefore you guys can’t say anything until you receive an official communication of what has happened. For example the BBC has to have a story they are covering confirmed from at least two sources before they can report something. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoff100 Posted September 6, 2023 Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 So a rider with history gets picked out at random,just how sweaty were his bollocks last night? Do these testers turn up at other sports as often?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do these testers turn up at other sports as often?? Yes and they can turn up at an athlete's home or place of work unannounced. There was a case a few years ago of a well known international athlete who somehow managed to avoid testers by living with friends and family for months until the anti-doping agency served him with legal papers stating he would be banned until he provided a sample. Im not sure if the rules have changed but it used to be that you could be tested outwith your sports normal season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wording almost SUGGESTS they know there is going to be an amalgation of the PL and CL next season and clubs who may elect not to run in that league would join NDL teams in a lower division. I could be way off the mark but its just my interpretation of Berwicks wording Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spittaler Posted September 6, 2023 Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 Well done to Joe Thompson replacing his brother. He been mucked about all season and a good move by Poole to include him in the Pirates team. Paid 11 at number 3 last night. And what progress James Pearson has made since leaving Birmingham! Berwick also lost the meeting at reserve. 5 points to Plymouth 19! Coles a former Plymouth guy was a miss and Garrod is basically a NL reserve rider never mind Championship reserve! Hook was poor too. Kileen was listed for Berwick but not there? Only saving grace for Berwick they should get 3 points Saturday to leave them second bottom! and cant see Plymouth getting any at Birmingham or Edinburgh?
