Things have been pretty quiet on the Tickle suspension for a while now, if you missed the ongoing drama you can check out my post here Steemit | Busy.

It seems the FIM have finally released a statement that confirms his request to have his provisional suspension lifted was denied and that the full suspension is now in force. They released the following information in a press release which leaves little hope for Tickle.

The decision to provisionally suspend Mr. Tickle was taken following the receipt of a report from the WADA accredited laboratory in Cologne indicating an Adverse Analytical Finding of 5-methylhexan-2-amine, a specified substance under Section 6 (Stimulants) of the 2018 FIM prohibited list, in a urine sample collected from him at an in-competition test carried out by the FIM at the round of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship held in San Diego, California, USA, on 10 February 2018.

Mr Tickle requested analysis of his B sample which confirmed the analysis of the A sample.

The FIM has taken note of the claim made by Mr Tickle that he cannot account for the presence of the substance 5-methylhexan-2-amine in his urine.

Mr. Broc Tickle is provisionally suspended with effect from 14 April 2018. He is therefore barred from participating in any sports competition until further notice (Art. 10.12 of the FIM Anti-Doping Code) and pending a final decision on the merits of the case.

The FIM World Anti-Doping Code and also the World World Anti-Doping Code means that the FIM are unable to provide any more information on the case at this time. This leaves Tickle out and i am unsure what his future now holds, he still actively denies doing anything wrong and is he is right then someone has effectively ended his career. Not a nice place to be...
