• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Are they going to end James Stewarts career?

To think for a split second that he didn't know, or his camp didn't know is ridiculous. Any semi serious athlete and trainer knows exactly what and when to eat, drink, and what "supplements" to take. In my coaching days (amateur - skiing) guidlines were published regularly about all kinds of rules and regulations, there was NO doubt about what was legal and what was prohibited - including simple flu medicine. The Stewart camp knew exactly what was up. They are professionals, its their job to comply within the rules...or be fired/suspended. Adderal is prohibited. That's not news and no secret to most. Take it and pay the price. Simple as that.

The discussion of what shoud and should not be prohibited is an entirely seperate discussion.
 
Ok. so suppose he knew it was banned and didn't take it. would he be able to perform at the same level? Going forward, will he be able to perform at that high level?

No and no because he won't be riding anymore. Sad ending...

I totally agree. The kids I've coached that had ADHD were like different people without meds. Things would go from bad to worse if the meds weren't given at the right time in the correct dosage.
 
WADA will not end James's career.
JAMES and his team made bad decisions that will end his career.
WADA has procedures in place that if he really needed, he could have taken legally.
Why the secrecy unless there is something to hide?
They all know what is legal and what is not.
With all the money involved, why did all parties, James, Suzuki, Yosh, not follow thru?

Here we have someone that is trying to cheat, my opinion, and is caught, and we are making him the victim.
Poor James, WADA is going end his career.

What about the issue about the IV nurse, IV's are also prohibited until after the races, at one of the nationals.
Sounds to me that a lot of things are going on behind the scenes that should not.

my opinion only- if he cheated, I do not want him on the line. I do not care how talented he is.

Fat Daddy
 
That's my point. Had he not taken them in the first place. He might not have have the success that he already had. Thus, it's better to to do it and risk getting caught than not do it and not win.

Yep. But... If there's rules in place that allow him to go to the sanction body with a medical evaluation and get permission to use the drug then he has absolutely zero excuses.
 
Would suprise you how many on the same start gate use it.
But they signed the disclosure they did use it to control ADHD.
James did not sign, had he would be no problem.
Later George
 
Which is my whole problem with effectively ending his carreer over it. IT IS BEING USED BY SOME OF HIS COMPETITORS. I know some of you are doing the Rules are Rules thing, but this demands a different approach. It is not an anabolic steroid or HGH or something that is just plain banned on Mars, Venus, all 50 states and the moon....and saying he is trying to cheat or only won in his career because of it is misinformation at least and downright slanderous at worse. I agree there is no excuse for the paperwork oversight whatsoever. But, do we end the career of one of the most talented and gifted riders the sport has ever seen, for f'ing up the procedure to use a prescription med that some of his competitors are also using? Would you?
 
Would you?

Would I what? End his career? Whatever the standard penalty has been is what he should get. I'm no expert on the subject but who he is & how good he is has nothing to do with it. He, they, the team, his DR. should all of known better.

Why? If other competitors are using it with approval, then I have no problem with them.
 
NASCAR has on the banned list advil. some bodies overreach on this shit. for some it is a life stabilizing med. not a get high type drug. we will all have to wait and see.
 
Get another career would be sage advice. After each national tests for all, make it part of the entry fee those big teams can afford the vigorous. Drugs from my experience are not a new thing by any means nor are victims. This guy is one drama after another.:censored:
 
Looks like he is back in the saddle...

Racer Xhas learned through a reliable source that James Stewart's Theraputic Use Exemption (TUE) for the substance he tested positive for at the Seattle Supercross in April has been accepted by the World Anti-Doping Agency, which performs the anti-doping controls for Monster Energy AMA Supercross an FIM World Championship. A second TUE has also been accepted by USADA, which performs the anti-doping testing for the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship. The approved TUEs should conceivably allow James to avoid any future ban and continue to race in 2015, however he doesn't have an official WADA trial date coming until next week, so his provisional suspension cannot be lifted until then (he might also still face some sort of penalty at the trial due to not having the TUE in place before the April test).
With an approved TUE in hand from WADA, James might also be able to race this weekend's Monster Energy Cup, but it's still not certain how the provisional suspension applies to this race, which is not part of the formal Monster Energy Supercross Championship. As we reported in our Monster Energy Cup preview earlier today, it's a complicated situation, however the TUE approval might tip things in favor of James racing this weekend.
Stay tuned for more if any additional details become known.

Would've been nice to use this but it's ok, I'll just keep fighting.
Success is determined not by whether or not you face obstacles, but by your reaction to them. And if you look at these obstacles as a containing fence, they become your excuse for failure. If you look at them as a hurdle, each one strengthens you for the next.
Goodluck to my brother Malcolm & my team at Yoshimura Suzuki & my teammate Blake Baggett.
That's a beautiful looking bike Rene.
