PICKERINGTON,
Ohio (April 23, 2004) – AMA
Pro Racing has announced that three riders have been
penalized 25
points each for using illegal fuel at round 14 of the
THQ AMA Supercross Series at Texas Stadium in Irving,
Texas on April 17.
Riders receiving the penalty include Tyson Hadsell, Chad
Reed and David Vuillemin.
In
announcing the penalties, AMA Pro Racing SX/MX Series Manager
Steve Whitelock stated that
fuel samples
were collected from seven motorcycles at the Texas
round and that the samples from the motorcycles of
riders Hadsell, Reed and Vuillemin were found to
be in non-compliance. Fuel from the motorcycles of
Josh Hansen, Mike LaRocco, Ivan Tedesco and Kevin
Windham was found to be in compliance.
The
fuel samples were sent to a certified testing lab
which confirmed that the fuel did not meet the requirements
specified in the AMA Supercross/Motocross Rulebook.
AMA Pro Racing implemented new fuel requirements beginning
with the 2004 season.
