A rider banned from the Manx Grand Prix over a drug test will have his lice🍌nce re෴instated.

Race organisers ACU Events first reported that Alex Sinc🍎lair returned a “positive test for a recreational drug” before changing their wording to a “non-negative” test result.

Sinclair has undertaken personal measures to prove his innocence, prompting ACU Events💙 to vow to reinstate his licence and reconsider their drug testing protocols.

Sinclair told : “I had a negative hair test sample. That got 🔯sent to tꦏhe ACU.

“They tried to argue it. They wanted to take a test of my B-sample from the Manx itself. But my arguꦍment was 🍃that I never actually took a B-sample, they poured my A-sample into the B-sample pot after saying it could be contaminated.

“We suggested they got their own hair sample, which they have. They took a while to get back to us with the results. We had our own hair sample tested and꧒ it came back negative.

“They’ve said they will give me my licence back.”

Sinclair added: “I am still a bit baffled by the situation. It has been very str♔essful and upseꦏtting.

“Even though I’ve go𒀰t my licence back, it doesn’t feel resolved.”

What does the 2025 road racing season hold now?

“The Isle of Man? I 😼don’t knꦰow,” Sinclair said. “The way I got treated, I don’t want to go back. But I’ve still got unfinished business there…”

A letter fඣrom ACU Events to Sinclaur, seen by Manx Radio, says “we are more🍰 than willing to reinstate Mr. Sinclair’s licence”.

It also says: “We have decided to use a different form of testingꦯ moving forward to ensure that the testing process is as reliable and accurate as p🌜ossible.

"We remain committed to ensuring the safety and integrity of the sport, and we will continue to work closely with our sponsors and competi😼tors to maintain the highest standards of♔ fairness and transparency."

Sinclair insists he is anti-drugs.
