Stupid situation. I always thought this one was silly due to miniscule amount found, open to arguement when that small that you're in the realms of being in or out of margins of error that apply to any test. I said before if he cheats catch him properly, as I recall the amount found was below an amount stipulated in the test as a fail.

That aside the thing that needs sorting is the time from test to court. AC has had results taken away but has continued to race, earn money and keep race fit for 18 months. He has a 2 year ban and can start racing again in August, back for the Worlds and end of season classics. So actually only a 7 month ban.
