Below is the announcement from the AMA regarding the Suspension of Al Ludington for the incident with Johnny Rock Page. The AMA also sent me the copy of Al’s open Apology, I’ve decided not to publish it as it’s not news in my opinion and is really between Al, Johnny and the AMA. It is my sincere hope that this issue is resolved fairly and to the satisfaction of all involved. Passion is a crucial part of what we do.

From AMA Pro Racing:

AMA Pro Racing officials have announced the indefinite suspension of the organization’s Technical Director of Competition Al Ludington for conduct detrimental to the sport of professional motorcycle racing following this past weekend’s AMA Pro Road Racing event at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.

The indefinite suspension will preclude Ludington’s participation in AMA Pro Road Racing events commencing with next weekend’s round at Heartland Park Topeka following his actions and behavior at Mid-Ohio on Saturday, July 18, in an exchange with AMA Pro American Superbike rider Johnny Rock Page. Ludington has issued a letter of apology to Mr. Page and the overall AMA Pro Racing community.

“Al Ludington is and remains a key member of AMA Pro Racing’s management team,” said AMA Pro Racing Vice President of Competition Roy Janson. “The outstanding competition that we have seen across the board in AMA Pro Road Racing this season is due in large part to Al’s expertise, experience and passion for motorcycle racing. In no way, however, can AMA Pro condone his behavior and actions as displayed this past weekend at Mid-Ohio. It is appropriate that Al extended an apology to Mr. Page, the AMA Pro Racing community and our loyal fans who deserve and can expect in the future nothing but the highest standards of professional conduct from all of our AMA Pro officials.”

Janson, who manages all aspects of the competition department in his Vice President position, will have direct oversight for at-event AMA Pro Road Racing technical operations in Ludington’s absence.

this is the indecent in question (or at least part of it):
