Whats new with J Law?

This was posted on several sites today about J-Law.

PICKERINGTON, Ohio -- AMA Racing officials determined today that actions taken by AMA Supercross Lites West Championship Series rider Jason Lawrence at the San Francisco round of the series violated the terms of his existing probationary status, which began on June 12, 2008. Lawrence has therefore been suspended for the next two rounds of the 2009 AMA Supercross Lites West Championship Series.

Specifically, Lawrence was found to have violated Appendix A, section A2.3j, of the AMA Supercross, and FIM World Championship, Rulebook, which states that the following offense is subject to disciplinary action:



"An attack on a Racing official and/or engaging in a fight. This includes any person who attacks or is involved in a fight anywhere on the premises prior to, during, or after an AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship meet. There will be no maximum fine or suspension period for this offense."


It was determined that Lawrence was involved in an incident off the track involving certain Supercross class riders. As a result of that violation, Lawrence has been suspended for the next two rounds of the 2009 AMA Supercross Lites West Championship Series, including the Feb. 7 round in Anaheim, Calif., and the Feb. 14 round in San Diego, Calif.

AMA officials notified Lawrence of the penalty on Wednesday, Feb. 4. Lawrence appealed and presented evidence in his favor at a meeting with AMA Racing officials on Friday, Feb. 6. Following careful consideration of that evidence, Lawrence's appeal was denied.


I was wondering if anyone on the board has heard about this.  Then this was posted a couple of hours later.

PICKERINGTON, Ohio -- Officials with AMA Racing and the FIM (Federation International de Motocyclisme) have penalized Supercross class riders Joshua Hansen and Steve Boniface for their involvement in an altercation at the San Francisco round of the 2009 AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship.

Both riders were found to have violated Appendix A, section A2.3j, of the AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, Rulebook, which states that the following offense is subject to disciplinary action:

"An attack on a Racing official and/or engaging in a fight. This includes any person who attacks or is involved in a fight anywhere on the premises prior to, during, or after an AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship meet. There will be no maximum fine or suspension period for this offense."

Both Hansen and Boniface have been fined $10,000 for actions detrimental to the sport of motorcycle racing, with a probation until May 4, 2009.

If the rider remains in compliance, the fine will be canceled.

Should either rider violate the "AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship Regulations" within the probationary period, then their fine will be due and the rider will not be allowed to participate in any future AMA/FIM events until the fine is paid.


So now we know who was involved, but does anyone have the full story?

im with Kirk jlaws antics never would have been accepted in the 70's through mid 90's they would have been thrown out & well should be. he gets in trouble every year! i don't really even watch sx & i hear about it. he is either billy bad apple or a total cry baby he cries & whines more than a 2 yr old he is bad for the sport & should be banned. all the ama cares about is money & same with the sponsor's, because of the pitiful state of our country the youth look up to people like him & the mm tards. i don't say this to take away from the abilities but they are wasting them yet are still looked up to. the clean racers that don't start fights & don't preform stupid childish antics are the ones that should be sponsored not people like jlaw

I'm not doing the predicting thing this year.  I'm too upset over losing the Detroit/Pontiac Supercross.
