Anthony West’s name as a former MotoGP rider attracted many people’s attention, but he was actually found to have used banned substances by the FIM in 2018. Anthony West is currently suspended, but he continues to race in Brazil’s Superbike? Championship racer, he was recently warned by the FIM, but he responded strongly by calling the FIM a "corrupt" organization.
Anthony West, a former MotoGP rider from Australia, has been very angry recently, but it is not because the record was broken, but because the FIM has been blocking his financial path, and he was found out by the FIM in September 2018. He was suspended after using banned substances. This was the second time in his career that he was found to have used banned substances. In his 20-year competition career, recent years have undoubtedly been his lowest ebb.
He has also been participating in the Superbike Championship in Brazil. Because this event is not recognized by the FIM, he can avoid his ban. However, the FIM cannot stand his participation in such a high-profile event this year. The relevant notice was issued in January to remind him not to go too far, including helping Kawasaki Brazil sign autographs, which violated the FIM's ban order, and the warning was quite strong.
At present, FIM has notified him to go to the International Disciplinary Court for a hearing, and urged him not to participate in any competition before the hearing. After this news, Anthony West was obviously furious. He posted on social networking sites Expressing his anger on the Internet, he said that the FIM is a "corrupt" organization. The FIM made its own rules to prevent him from participating. He also accused the FIM of not managing other things well, such as Marc Marquez using a special ECU to win the 2013 Moto2 Championship, Rossi's GP500 world championship was also caused by tires specially developed for him. This is all the FIM's fault.
At present, Anthony West has no next step, because he has basically been banned from participating in the competition in Brazil, and he complained about a lot of things to the FIM on social networking sites. It is not yet known whether he will be punished. The original plan to return to competition in September may also be suspended as a result.
