I think it's possible to fail a drug test after taking some over the counter medicines, it certainly is in Spain and has happened in athletic circles over the years.
However in this case until everything is finalized we won't know (if ever) !

well .. as he is banned i'd say it's finalized
and of course you can fail test with over the counter medicine .. but for those you need subscription and you must notify the governing body..

giving Spain as an example isn't the best idea when it comes to doping

Looks like Roczen will be the one to beat this year
if he stays healthy.

Surprised by the Canard move on Reed.
Would like to see Reed get 1 win this year then call it a career.

Pulling for Eli Tomac this year.

Alessi still a bit of an enigma.

All I can think of right now.

It is looking that way. RCH will be utterly chuffed I am sure. They have solid back-up, too. A break-out year for the team already, let alone what may be to come. It is not like Roczen is new to the pressures of running at championships.

What he needs to make sure he does not do is hurt himself or otherwise have races where spills it and loses a tonne of points. Dungey will, as ever, keep plugging away with his 2nds, 3rds, 4ths, 5ths, and probably the odd win. Only takes a couple of off-days from Roczen and come the final rounds he could see himself in a title battle despite dominating the season.

I was more surprised by the move by Reed on Canard. Canard did not really make a move; he just make a big mistake and Reed was the collateral damage. I did not expect to see the blatant Reed retaliation we did that crossed the line into cheating - he is above that, and off-hand cannot remember him ever doing it in the past.

I like Tomac. I like to see him get results, although cannot say I actively pull for him.

The rider I feel most invested in is Chisholm.

Dont get the Alessi stuff, he isnt an enigma at all.

He is the holeshot man, nothing more. He isnt fit enough, often gives up, and is to be honest a waste of a seat.

Reeds move was fair enough, Canard made a mistake, totlaly missed a move, took out Reed, and wha Chad did was fair enough in my book. Its a mans game sorry.

Reed would have got away with that move on Canard if it was NASCAR

Roczen made a mistake at Oakland which makes things very interesting...

Interesting how both those invovled in the incident had their best weekends by far in Oakland.

What a ride by Cooper Webb in 250 though, if you thought Canadrs move on Reed was bad, try watching Bowers move on Webb, uterly brutal, but the lad came back and nearly won it on the line. Sadly all the plaudits will go to Fox favourite Stewart.

Webb did say that "payback is a biatch" when talking about Bowers - shall be interesting to see how that one plays out seeing they are 1 & 2 in the championship...

Roczen can get away with one more disaster weekend and be able to make up the difference, but throw in a third and Dungey might kill him with consistency.

Webb proved himself yet again to be excellent at coming through the field.

Has there been any news on J. Stewart appealing? Last I knew he was going to try and see what he could do, but do not know if anything has actually happened.

I really liked the track even though it was
difficult for the riders. That was a brilliant sand section.

Happy for Malcom even though he was bummed his brother
was not there to see his victory.

The 450's was a great show. Could not have written that script better
after what happened the week before. I really think this
season will be great for this class.

I imagine he will make more of the races to support his
team and brother as the rounds move east and get closer to home (FL).
He is not banned from being at the track.

I read an article that James thought about retiring
but fan support gave him a second wind to come back
in 2016. That will be fun to watch. He will be 30 next season
so he may have a couple more years in him. Chad Reed is 32
now just as a point of reference.

Anaheim 3 was a rather boring dominant ride by Dungey. Roczen & Tomac battle was pretty good tho & Seely showed well on the Honda. Reed had a poo start, again. Is the Yamaha not that good or is Barcia over-rated, pity Peick got injured the other week... Whats going on with Millsaps on the factory Kwaka

Good win by Canard in San Diego, Roczen was solid, Dungey aswell. Tomac needs to cut out the mistakes & maybe Kwaka should give old man Reed the factory bits as Millsaps is really struggling...
Barcia didn't race which ruins his season!

Ryan Dungey - 127
Ken Roczen - 118
Trey Canard - 109
Eli Tomac - 100

Cooper Webb won again in the 250 class...

Roczen it the wall in practice and is hobbling around with a limp.
Atlanta should be interesting. C'mon Tomac - step up!

Way to go in Detroit Eli! Really fast all weekend.
Brutal crashes all night. First time I have seen a rider
almost have his jersey ripped off his back in a crash.

I really like that track. It has its
technical spots yet a very fast track.

Tomac is the quickest and most spectacular guy out there, is often the pole sitter if you like, but keeps making stupid mistakes.

If he could eliminate them he woudl easily be Dungeys toughest challenge.

Seely is impressing me, making Anderson look ordinary as a rookie, and Peick too, I like hus stye and considering he was massively injured early on, he is doing well.

Canard - Broken arm.
Weimer - No word yet.

Hate it for Canard, he is such a good guy.
Dungey 's lead looks huge with 5 or 6 races left.
