Larry Olubamiwo receives FOUR YEAR DOPING BAN: Used 13 different substances!!!

Larrys, licence was reinstated this year if im not mistaken. I saw an article in boxing news! Due to him snitching on others.

 

Also, Guillermo Jones lost his WBA belt to Lebedev again after his positive test and got suspended for 6 months but effective from the date of the fight.
There has been no official overturning as of yet and it probably never will, and the WBA wants a REMATCH as soon as possible! atsch

How's that for rewarding a cheater :-(

 

Yes I know he didn't take all that crap himself, cause that would have been ridiculous. But didn't know he snitched on some of his costumers.

 

They weren't in a rush to test that B sample or to make the results public either. :verysad

 

Larry, was used by gabe montoya as an example, to bring floyds drug testing procedures with manny up. He was asserting that floyd was taking drugs! This joker, gabe has never brought larrys reinstatement up yet, i wonder why?

 

LO just didn't have the right kind of "strength and conditioning coach" AKA the guy who knows how to beat PED testing.

I think professional boxing is infested with cheaters and the "cheaters never win" philosophy doesn't go far since the athletes I think are cheating are champions, former champions and top contenders. If an all time great from the past took a time travelling ride in a DeLorean and had to fight a current champion, I say there's a 90% chance the old time ATG would get his ass beaten over, under, sideways and down, simply because the modern champion is using PEDs.

Sometimes PED users are obvious, they "start slow" and end up KOing their nonPED using oponents in the later rounds simply because their PEDs allow them to recover something like 90% of their original capacity while the nonPED user work capacity diminishes until he's around 75% and the opponent using PEDs seems to be "starting". It's sort of like an older fighter against a younger fighter.


Professional boxing is corrupt to the core. Some of us may remember even an instance where a light heavyweight or maybe even cruiserweight fought a junior middleweight and since that wasn't enough, the larger boxer was even given a gift decision simply because he was a big name. I also think he looked like **** because he didn't use PEDs in that particular fight, falsely assuming he had more ability than he actually does.

What can you do? If you can't beat 'em join. If you ain't cheatin', you aint tryin'.

 

Butch, are you sundancing man? what the hell are you on about!

 

Fair enough....fair opinion. Yet I'd kindly remind you that if you took every fighter you personally like, root for, support and had them tested this very second the majority would fail.......even men you think are of this "high moral standing". It is just reality. If you eliminated every ped user today you would be left with, well, not much.......and yep some of your heroes would go down. I understand anti ped sentiment and do believe some athletes stay clean....but don't understand where folks can't see it is so ingrained into international sporting culture that it will never be eliminated, especially where fame and money gets involved. Wanting a cleaner sport is great......being unrealistic and underestimating the difficulty of doing that is self delusion.

 

That pic is pretty hilarious in the light of the conviction.

 

What are you basing that on? You are being every bit as unrealistic with your defeatist "Everybody is doing it (although I accept this on blind faith and can't prove everybody is any more than you can prove that everybody isn't! :tong)" attitude.

 

It is not defeatist to acknowledge reality. A healthy percentage use something. Denying that is foolhardy. It is a long established culture within sport. That's just real as history and current conditions prove that. It is difficult to eliminate or even monitor/police. History proves that. More athletes use than test results show. History proves that along with common sense. Getting too fired up about something you cannot realistically do anything to change, and which is also more rampant than most realize, and bashing athletes for making a choice that most others do .....its a little too facist for me. Wrong is wrong to be sure, but considering the entire culture of sport, risk vs reward etc etc I can understand the usage.

 

its the WBgay
they also let him stay inactive for 2 years one time and never stripped him.
boxing has no real rules, the inmates run the asylum
