Anybody advise why in some cases the used banned substance is disclosed and in other cases not. Surely supporters, especially the Tiger’s fans have a right to know. Anyone caught should be made to go to rehab at their own expense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would depend on when they took the banned substance, drugs stay in your system for a while. Would also depend on weather they were over the legal limit or not , but perhaps someone who fails a drug test in the pits should be required to take another test to se if they're over the limit for driving 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWellBehavedWorrall Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 Gutted by this. There’s an argument to be made that Complin won that league title for Glasgow last season. No, he didn’t top score, but he went above and beyond what was expected of him. His heat fourteen move and block on Lewis Kerr against Oxford at Ashfield, allowing Brennan to come through the inside, was genuine world class speedway. What was more impressive was his connection with the fans. He almost single handedly had Ashfield rocking. Regardless, he’s f*cked up, big time. I heard he was gifted a very expensive engine which, including the many sponsors who backed him and the multiple fans who bought his merchandise, renders a long list of disappointed and let down parties. What a shame. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bandit59 Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 Interview in Sun with Phil Lanning still trying to say it was all over the counter prescription drugs he took obviously not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerryxo Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 I'm still surprised there's been no statement or anything from Complin, especially for his sponsors this year, who seem to have gone above and beyond. Silly man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I don't quite understand is, previously we have been told what the rider tested positive for after the hearing, but we don't seem to have been told this time?

Hows it the chemists fault? Every time someone goes in to ask for benadryl for a cold do you think the pharmacist should come out and interrogate them aboutwhether they intend to ride speedway? The pharmacist is more than happy enough to advise but it is Lee who has to ask about it. They have no legal right to refuse to sell him it unless abuse is suspected 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
