From the SCB.
The Speedway Control Bureau over the last season and a half have worked with Racoo Testing team who specialise in Alcohol and Drug Testing, and during this period have attended 20 speedway meetings, which in turn means 80 riders have been asked to produce a sample.
Up until Monday 6th August, all riders have been co operative and all test that have been done has produced a negative result.
Unfortunately at Kent on Monday evening, Steve Boxall was randomly selected, but refused to take the test.
As stated in the Speedway Regulations - "A Rider or Official who refuses to undertake testing shall automatically be disqualified from the Meeting and reported to the SCB Co Ordinator"
Therefore an emergency Court Hearing took place on Tuesday 7th August, with three members of the Speedway Control Bureau and the SCB Co Ordinator in attendance, where it was confirmed that Mr Boxall Speedway Licence will be suspended for a period of two years, for the failure of taking an alcohol and drugs test.
The Speedway Control Bureau would like to confirm that these test will continue and warn any riders or officials the penalties of either refusing or failing the test.
This ends the SCB Statement, 9th August 2018.
