Last year, West was found guilty of doping - an "irregular substance" was found in his blood. They have never confirmed what the substance was. As this was his second offence, his racing licence was revoked. He went to Brazil to race this year as they were outside of the FIM's jurisdiction. Regardless, they've managed to wield their power to get him dumped.
I'm not into conspiracies much but this whole situation smells of a stitch up from the very start.

West does have a bit of the Anthony Goberts about him, but this seems very suspect.

Not really. Gobert was a party boy who was so talented that he continually had factories throwing contracts at him.
West had had to fight and scrap for his career and always seemed to land in the right place at the wrong time.
Last year he sold pretty much everything he owned to start his own team in World Supersport to go racing. He also took nearly every paying domestic ride he could find. As someone who already fell foul of an illegal substance earlier in his career, I find it highly dubious he would risk it with so much on the line.

Some people are just dumb though
Brazilian superbikes does seem a pretty random series. I wasn’t even aware of it til he announced he was racing in it.

West had been racing internationally for 20 years. He's a bogan but I don't think he's that dumb.
That they've never even announced the illegal substance that was supposedly found in his system is quite bizarre.

Alex Barros races in it!
Really? I'm trying to find its site, but can't see anything.

I don't understand the language and can't work my way around it.
They race at Goiania, which is where Wayne Gardner clinched his championship.

My phone translated it from Portuguese to English. The main thing I found was West was leading the title from Eric Granado and Alex Barros.
Its been fun watching but Eurosport production just shits me.
Le Mans is like the WRC for me. I get and would like to follow it. but it's too hard for me to do so.
Tbh, I’m not sure how successful that’ll be. It’s just the same s**t presented in a slightly different way. People have to get that 5lt V8s are outdated for professional, top tier motor racing.
Maldonardo had a prang.
All this time and there's still a GP length to go!
Late race puncture for the Toyota Alonso wasn't in. So he'll probably win now.
Alonso, Nakajima and Buemi pick up a free Le Mans win.
Something fishy about this Le Mans result.
Apparently a sensor detected a puncture. Then instead of swapping all tyres they just replaced the one that was puncture. But as it turned out it was the wrong tyre! SO it then suffered a full puncture anyway.
Personally, I think there is some "behind the scenes" BS happening so that Alonso could win.
We'll have to look it up more to raise suspicions further.
