Good post Weeyin…….totally agree about the football type attitude of some newby fans……not good for our family sport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be annoying when you give track time and opportunities to these youngsters and they go to your rivals Not really, I’d much rather have the 7 we have personally, Leon needed a change for both the good of his career and to freshen up Berwick and I personally think we have a much more exciting prospect in Freddy Hodder at reserve compared to Ace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used to sample every greyhound for testing but as you say costs were prohibitive and it is now random sampling. Sometimes before a race and sometimes after as the person parading the dog could addminister something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only time will tell!! Early season catches the ones who stopped partying too late in off season to clear there system Hope Lee does get cleared But it's a warning to all riders to clean up there act Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fromafar Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 9 hours ago, szkocjasid said: Worrall's average is below 8, so a 6+1 score away from home isn't so bad. He's not the rider he was when he first went to Poole. Have Glasgow fans overrated their heat leader strength I wonder? Don’t think Worrell was signed on the premise that 6 points away from home was good enough given that he is their 2nd Heat Leader. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully whatever is curtailing his scoring is sorted sooner rather than later. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully your team live up to their name and ‘Splash the cash’ through the week to build a more competent team. In my opinion, Glasgow should be stripped of last years title as your powerhouse reserve was more than likely under the influence of cocaine. Absolutely disgusting behaviour considering he’s riding at such a high level. All Glasgow fans should be travelling home tonight disgusted!!! If I was Phil Morris I would throw you guys out of the BSN cup, but I’d imagine a brown envelope will come his way this week and Lee Complin will have his backside trackside next week. TB You have the facts too hand then. No didn’t think so. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's something stronger the I've no sympathy for any rider who fall foul of the testing regime. They're bound to know that there's always a chance that they might get tested.

Tosh1218 Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 As a Speedway fan I really hope Complin offence is an innocent one and he’s back on track soon , too many are judging and giving there thoughts on last nights events .Speedway is in decline and negative comments aren’t helping . The law of the land is”Innocent until proven guilty “ and hope this is the case in Lee Complins .Speedway doesn’t need scandals as year on year the support is dwindling . Ps I’m not a Tigers fan I’m a speedway fan who is seeing it diminish year on year 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In both scenarios it's sheer stupidity if you get caught,. I would find it difficult for Lee Complin to put anything forward in mitigation for the reasons you give, there`s enough advice and information out there for any rider unsure what is and what is not allowed. Maybe there was an issue with the test itself or the equipment used to take the but I would find that very hard to believe. At the end of it all the rider is responsible for what he takes, whether it be medication, supplements, vitamins or energy drinks etc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
