Don't get all sooky on me ladies...i WANT Stoner in the game...my point is where would he be in the Championship IF he would have shown up for work?..2 crashes Crazy Jotge, 1.5 Crashes Rossi, and a crash little Pedro...he could have made up a lot of points..if he would have at least TRIED..
Oh and more people care bout what i have to say than your sad ...

see was that so hard?..Stoner is "taking a break"...at least thats the truth not that he has some mystery bug ...

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (vibe @ Aug 31 2009, 05:13 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>There is a rumour CS was prescribed a drug for his "illness" that if he was to be blood tested would result in him being sidelined for taking a prohibited or band substance anyway, hence the need for him to sit out 3 weeks for the substance to clear?
i read a member suggest that as a possibility but saw nothing official to suggest that was the case. I believe that was an idea rather than a fact.

If he is too crook to ride than he probably shouldn't be doing so, but I don't challenge your arithmetic. If stoner had ridden on slicks at donnington and competed in the subsequent 2 races and finished 4th in all three which had been achievable even in a debilitated state previously (he may well have been able to finish even higher at donnington given events there) by my calculation he would now be 23 points off the lead. However if stoner was in serious contention rossi may well not have chased after crazy george as hard at indy. l doubt casey's presence or absence has much effect on george; he does what he does.

Interesting that he is now being accused of taking illegal drugs for an illness which is apparently non-existent in the first place .

I take it all back about stoner getting no coverage in the general press in Australia. Quote from the Brisbane Times, August 30
"Feral speculation does no favours to those on either side of the Curtain of the Uncertain. Websites, which often feed on ignorance, vivid imaginations and stupidity, have been over-revving with suggestions that Stoner actually has a stress related issue"

I was offended until I realised they must be talking about the crashnet forum .

Do you hate women??

Casey is physically unable to perform at the moment, so superficial remarks like yours show you don,t understand a thing, don,t try to, or are not capable of understanding. You should join Pinky in a padded room and exchange stupid inanities.
Dude, do whatever you do to relax and centre your chakra... You've been around here long enough to know Curve. His perfectly valid point, showing a level of understanding you clearly lack, is whether or not Casey has made an error in judgement by sitting out rather than ride through his difficulties... only the next twelve months will answer that, 'til then Curve and the rest are entitled to call him a ....., if they so believe.

This actually makes as much, if not more, sense than anything else I've heard. It is logical insofar as a possible therapy AND as to why there are no concrete statements coming from the Stoner camp.

No one has said non-existent, just unnamed. Many LEGAL drug therapies will set off anti-doping alarms... come on michael I/we expect better...

Fair enough, although I meant illegal for a competitor rather than in general, and I doubt he would take such a substance anyway. I wasn't having a go at roger, whom I respect, either.

Do they dope test riders anyway? Crazy george would probably have testosterone levels way off the scale.

Good question - I have no idea... doping in bike racers is actually something I've never considered...

Haga fail a drug test in wsb a few years back .

Haga was tested positive for the substance Ephedrine after the race in South Africa, which was later learned that Ephedrine occurs naturally in the herbs used in the Ma Huang supplement that he took during the off-season. He initially received a one-month ban beginning in June 5 and had his points from both South Africa race deducted.[1] However after series of appeals, the points from Race 1 in South Africa were reinstated and the ban was delayed and reduced to 2-week ban, resulting in Haga missing the final round in Brands Hatch, Great Britain. With Haga losing 25 points and sitting out a 2-race weekend, Colin Edwards comfortably won the 2000 championship.

so they must drug test in motogp if they do in wsb surely.

But then again with the spew over the track with a special helmet exhaust, maybe the 4 front runners slipping all over, and who would’a, should’a, could’a think that Edwards would be leading followed by Dovizioso!!!

Yeah, yeah, it is a stupid joke I guess.
