    Assembled masses:

    Anybody aware of anybody in FIM getting busted for out of
    specification fuel? The AMA is penalizing Ricky Carmichael
    25 points for out of spec fuel (too much lead). This is the third
    time in three years that VP Fuels sponsored riders have
    been penalized in AMA motocross/supercross. There is
    a lot of speculation that it's "just too hard to be sure about
    these trace levels of lead". But the Euros seem to be able
    to get it right, right?

    I thought the AMA rule was written to conform to the
    FIM rule. Not true?

    T3, me, whoever:
    The rules are the same, the test protocol is
    different, according to the AMA's press release
    rescinding the penalty for too much TEL in Ricky
    Carmichael's fuel
