Instead he’s acting more of a arrogant to55er by that statement he’s put out. Edited November 3, 2023 by bloom89 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littleze Posted November 3, 2023 Report Share Posted November 3, 2023 19 hours ago, Hawk127 said: Any club that employs him runs the risk that they are tarnished. He is astute enough to know the risks and that night or leading up to that nights racing took risks and whether by design or otherwise hoped to get away with it. He should be punished accordingly but the cowboys who make decisions in this sport are as crooked and bent as any rider who thinks taking drugs and jeopardising colleagues lives on the track is OK. No excuse is acceptable given that they are riding 500cc machines and few who do, can claim to have full control of their machines these days. No hope for the sport when those in charge come up with these conclusions and leaves you finding so many chancers on both sides thinking it is OK to do what they like. Societies scumbags sums it up. Tarnished? lol… I guess all the multi national sponsors will pull out, and the back page headlines will have a huge effect, I get your sentiment but please!!!

Really? Boxall has previous and it was immediately after Cardiff weekend. It would seem strange, to me at least, if they were the only two who were on it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not 2 substances. I was intrigued as to what Benzoylecgonine was, so I googled it and it is a by-product of Cocaine use which is produced by the liver and is what they test urine for when screening for Cocaine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No brain, thick as a brick and brought it all himself, for me he should be chucked out of speedway for good. Never liked him when he were at BV and wasn’t that good a rider. His brother btw is totally different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still remember when he was signed by Lakeside early in his career then Belle Vue stepped in and bought him. Without going into the rights and wrong’s of that messy episode, he went on social media calling Jon Cook names when most people would not have known the back story. It doesn’t look good when professional people are washing their dirty linen in public. Even back in those days Ritchie had a high opinion of himself. As others have said, his bother Steve is very different and maybe that’s why he is more successful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not the first time he has had a pop at me, thing is both times he has had a go I wasn’t talking about him, i was making general points about speedway, I couldn’t care less really, I don’t retaliate, I tried to answer his points but he then just got personal so I just ended by saying enjoy you’re career I know I did,I saw the week after the British final he was chucked off speedway friends on FB for insulting some fan, reading his post after his drug ban(with a smug grin) I felt he was laughing in the face of the SCB and speedway itself Edited November 7, 2023 by THE DEAN MACHINE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
