    yes he easily could have

    he also could have easily disclosed he was taken this mediacation if he had medical information backing it up, but guess what he couldn't

    This is why there ought to be transnational uniformity on both a) lists of banned substances and b) testing methods. Surely we all can agree on that?

    Just so there are no surprises, and no room to claim (disingenuously or sincerely) ignorance of what's expected from one place to another.

    Wow IB. Just wow.

    Yeah, he doesn't care about one of his career best wins possibly being changed to a NC or his respect among the boxing community going down the drain. Yeah, he was so unwilling to waste the couple hours maximum on the phone that would be needed to clear the issue and his reputation... Yeah he was so unwilling to do all that. He gave no care in the world about these evil Brits trying to "nickel-and-dime" him over "ancient history" except the care to actually appeal it in the first place. He filed the freakin' appeal so that they couldn't publicly announce anything so that he could get additional paydays. Which he did.

    Nothing but respect for you IB but you must be on the payroll or have a poster of him hanging over your bed to type what you've typed on this forum. I hope you are simply trying to get this rise out of me and trolling.

    ib, honestly if this isn't something you need to disclose in America when your drug testing then you really need to seriously question any testing done. It must be a complete joke

    Yup

    Literally 1960's.

    Don't believe that? Spend some time doing quality research.

    Because American testing means commission testing which does scheduled urine tests, if any tests at all.

    It is still a big minority of fights that actually have USADA or VADA testing.

    yup but he never gave us the opportunity to know that:smoke

    he also never disclosed it, apparently using a masking agent hasn't been an issue at all for testing in America, that's worrying
