Rumors that Ken Roczen didn't take a required WADA anti-doping test at the Australian WSX round? His agent Steve Astephen told us that Ken took the test, the proof is that if he didn't take it, there would have been immediate public word from the FIM. Astephen, though, wasn't happy about the testing.

“Ken eventually took the test," Astephen told us. "Of course we were gonna’ [take the test], we’re not going to take a ten-year suspension (Astephen and Roczen were told if they do not test, the athlete could face a suspension of up to 10 years). I’m familiar with how WADA works, I work with Olympic athletes. At Wales, there’s no FIM meeting and no explanation that the FIM is involved. Now I have to admit this: it’s on all the riders and their agents to assume that when I get a rider paid well over a half-million dollars to race races like this, including Paris, that’s a demonstration. We didn’t get purse money, just so you know. We didn’t go there to win a series. They paid Kenny a lot of money to go race a one off, just like Eli Tomac. We did two rounds. We considered it a one-off. He’s out of competition because Ken Roczen races American AMA Supercross and American AMA Outdoors. He doesn’t race FIM events. He doesn’t race Australian Supercross. We show up in Cardiff and there’s no talk of drug tests. When my NBA guys go over to China to do games in China, they don’t fall under NBA rules. Having said that, I should have yelled and said, “Why are you calling this a series? Two rounds isn’t a championship!" Open Mic Link in Story 🎤
