He definitely does rely on speedway to make a living even though he has relentlessly badmouthed the sport at every turn you will see how desperate he is to come back when he coughs up the £4500 with his tail between his legs. He's not been fined for his latest outburst yet has he? That £4500 could yet increase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnieg Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 (edited) From 'Tears & Glory' : ..... on April 20 [2007] Reading thrashed Ipswich 60-32 at Smallmead in a fairly routine match. At the time comment focused on Kolodziej's first maximum and the pre-meeting withdrawal of McGowan after he aggravated a back injury in the pits. However, UK Sports Council Doping Control Officers were taking samples from three randomly selected riders. [On May 9 it was announced that] One of them – Danny Bird – tested positive. Bird was suspended pending testing of the 'B' sample. Once this also proved positive, a hearing was arranged. Bird's samples revealed traces of benzoylecgonine, an indicator of cocaine. He did not attend the tribunal held in July and received a two-year ban and was ordered to pay £1150 costs.

JoeW436 Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 For someone that keeps telling us he’s on holiday Karen Worrall does a lot of whinging on social media for somebody who is supposedly done with the sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s exactly what he’s after just attention… people should just ignore him, the more people comment on his posts the more tripe he’ll write.
