• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

FIM says no, Stewart out of 2015 SX...

More of a Mookie fan than I am a Stewart Fan... But this has got to Hurt... He's getting old in Motorcross years.. probably time to retire.. maybe he and Reed can have a dual retirement party ... LOL :banana:
 
It sucks for Stewart and all of us that like to watch him ride, but he knew the rules and didn't follow them. It sounds like several other riders got their TUE's filed but Stewart didn't. 16 months is a bit overkill in my opinion though!

The most ridiculous part of the whole thing I think is that it took them 8 months to reach a decision! I know they can't do it overnight, but come on... 8 months! Think of all the $$$$ Suzuki has tied up in Stewart's bikes, testing, and preparing for the upcoming SX season. A1 is in 2 weeks and they are just now informing Stewart and Suzuki that they can't go racing. Total BS is you ask me.

yep.
 
why dose the FIM have there nose in any of it any way the real SX series should be an AMA only deal if the FIM wants a world SX series fine they can even have a US round but :censored: with US riders in a US series and on US soil :thumbsdown: bet if it was Herlings or some other euro super star nobody would have ever herd shit about it
 
You forgot it goes to canada.... thats where the fim came in.... plus thats how it works.... just like a club being under AMA the AMA is just a club of the fim....
 
“I’m extremely disappointed to say the least,” said Stewart. “We plan to appeal as I personally feel that the punishment far outweighs the situation; especially since I received both WADA and USADA approvals that prove I’m not cheating. I’m bummed for everyone involved: my family, my team, my sponsors, the promoters and most of all the fans. Unfortunately, I’ve had to be very quiet in regards to this situation but I’ll be telling the full story in the next couple weeks so everyone can understand what we’ve been going through. Thank you all for your continued support.”

Yoshimura Suzuki Racing’s James Stewart has announced plans to be at the season-opening round of the 2015 AMA Supercross Championships on Saturday, January 3 at Angel Stadium in Anaheim to support his team, teammate, sponsors and fans.

These guys are professional athletes who should not be allowed to take any medication linked to performance enhancement, amphetamine or other, prescribed or otherwise. The media always cries cold medicine, but they know the rules going in, just don't do it. I value our sport as much as I do the Olympics. And I feel that it should be treated with the same seriousness.
 
I do believe that James broke the rules and should face consequences.....
That being said, I'm not convinced the punishment fits the crime, and taking 8 months to ponder his fate was complete and utter bs.
Its time the sport got serious about testing ALL the moto athletes on a consistent basis.
I bet that the field would get really small if every athlete was tested for PED's and punished in the matter JS7 has been.

Might I presume the others that filled out the proper paperwork will remain anonymus. Do the olympics have rules like this drug is ok if prescribed and reported, strip your medal if prescribed and not reported?

The decision gets announced lately but there might have been pretty good ways to estimate it prior.
