No, Broc is free to race in Canada. It's only going to happen if he has no recourse here with WADA and the testing/results are what they are.

if a rider has a contract he can but purse is kinda small. i think the series purse is like 100k. where as one event here is 60k. maybe redbull ktm sends him north like Pourcel did last year.

That bike is the owner of BFD, Dean Thompson, he has been No. 20 for years.
It could also be Mike Brown's ride as he is racing round one of the Canadian outdoor series for BFD.

Probably a PR stunt like MCR pulled with their #7 bike a few years back.

Exactly. He should get a giant middle finger butt patch and “WADA” on it.

WADA just ran the test, it was the FIM who put the suspension in place.
If he does race Canada, I wouldn’t put it past the FIM to really drag their feet and keep the provisional suspension going for as long as they can. they seem petty enough to do some shit like that.

Jeffro, you and I both know that WADA wouldn't even know or care who BT is. Just another failed test and doing what they get paid to do.

If Tickle does come to Canada he'll have to be a triple digit number. The number 20 already belongs to Davey Fraser who will be aboard a Husky for the Carlson racing team. As stated above the bike pictured belongs to Dean Thompson of Blackfoot/Blackfoot Direct.

I've touched on the whole Tickle coming to Canada in another thread awhile back.

Seeing that he has a 1 year contract with KTM they could honor it by sending him up North. The KTM team already has their rider in Kaven Benoit and Cole Thompson but with no one riding for the Husky factory team this year they could move him over to that brand and have him race our series like Pourcel did last year if they choose to do so. This would up the chances of the KTM/Husky family bringing another title under their roof.

As for Tickle making a living up here it is possible. I'm not a lawyer but seeing that he's already under contract I would guess that they need to honor it or somehow modify it seeing that we have a smaller series with less exposure. Being that he's a bigger name he would still be able to make money off personal sponsors, gear deal, goggle deal, etc. Unlike our guys up here.

As for the 100K purse mentioned above that's incorrect. The new Rockstar Energy Triple Crown series has a bonus of 100K up for grabs for the 450 rider that scores the most points across all 3 series (AX, MX, SX). The AX portion of the series is already completed therefore Tickle wouldn't qualify for that bonus.

Tickle is currently still riding the KTM but I would assume making the switch to the Husky wouldn't be that difficult to adapt too.

Our MX series starts in 3 weeks on May 26th in Calgary at the Wild Rose MX Park.

Unfortunately, Tickle is done. I doubt we hear from/about him again. WADA sentences are meant to be just that - a career death sentence. He will have a Stewart-like retirement, just quite a few years earlier and with a whole lot less money.

As much as I hate WADA's process and lack of communication,

you can be sure as shit that other riders will not try any banned substances or they will end up like this.

Broc should say fuck you to the FIM and anyone who doesn't have his back and go race where he wants. especially if he can make a pay-check with our friendly neighbors to the north

Really? Because to hear Broc Tickle tell it, he is absolutely sure he did not.


This whole scenario is "guilty until proven innocent," and un-American.

USADA ran the test and WADA determines the penalty as I understand it.

FIM contracted with WADA/USADA but FIM has 0 control or input on the penalty/suspension.

I don't think FIM will care if he does that. How much money has Tickle made in his career? Has he made enough, that he can survive without racing for a few years?

It may be worth it to him to forego racing one-off events if it means his suspension can end sooner. The trouble is, after 4 years off from racing he would probably have to pay his own way and prove himself before any team is willing to fund him.

Unfortunately. And that is a problem in itself. Riders that are valuable to this sport are worthless to WADA. They DGAF about the nature of the sport or the absurdity of applying an Olympic style penalty system. They can't even be bothered to act professionally, and communicate the most basic information with Broc and his lawyer. They suck, and it sucks that we are beholden to them, period. Such an inept organization should not hold the power to destroy riders' careers. Broc, the sport, and we as fans, deserve better.

His contract was terminated. He’s a free agent.

WADA has penalty guidelines that organizations agree to follow if they become affiliated with them. Technically the penalty would be issued by the FIM, but they would have to make a really strong case for reducing Tickle’s penalty to avoid violating their contract with WADA.

Wow,the guy that got caught cheating says he's innocent . He pissed hot which means he's guilty of breaking the rules. It shouldn't be that hard to understand.

Brock could be riding right now up in Canada but he didn't want to mess things up with WADA. I think he was hoping they wouldn't have been a little quicker with his case.

Whether Broc did something knowingly or unknowingly, regardless, the long process of uncertainty sucks and seems unfair.

I’m sure all the guys are on high alert of what they eat or take now and will be squeaky clean.
