Browne tested positive for Clenbuterol; result versus Chagaev potentially overturned?

Except for the last three or four guys who tested positive in Russia ... like Oquendo, Durodola, Wach (and more than likely Browne) ... who were positive and then they weren't.

Oquendo's getting the next shot because the same promoter reported a false positive on him as well.

If they're going to test positive for asthma drugs ... they should pick a guys who actually has asthma. Oquendo tested positive for drug given to pregnant women or some **** like that.

 

Actually it might! The infamous trainer Panama Louis was caught crushing up asthma medicine in the water of his fighters. The theory is that the medication opens up a persons lungs so he can take in more oxygen, thus increasing stamina.

 

Has that ever been proven to be true in any sport, though (let alone in the very specific and unique context of boxing's mixed aerobic/anaerobic dynamic)? Not anecdotally or by urban legend, but via peer reviewed studies? It seems to me just a crackpot theory until it has been.

 

Maybe that's what was in the mystery black bottle eh.. "Give me the bottle, the one I mixed"!

 

Stop being such a fanboy....most people didn't pick Browne to win (bookies certainly didn't), and now he comes up a drug cheat.

 

Sounds like some backwater voodoo ****. Ruskies being corrupt af again.

 

So what, its a shame that promoters allow drug testing companies to ruin boxers career!

Boxers should simply demand no drug tests :think

 

The benefit and efficacy of clenbuterol on an athlete is debatable, the fact it's a banned substance or not is not up for debate. If Browne took clenbuterol whether you think it benefited him or not in the fight isn't the point, he believed it benefited him and that's cheating pure and simple.

But of course this is still not official. This is Russia and we all know that corruption is rife in Russia. The B sample needs to be tested before we condemn the man but people should be suspicious. He did look in his best shape ever and while it's true that Oquendo, Wach and Durodola had previously false positive tests that were later over turned this test was done by VADA not RUSADA as was the case with Wach and Durodola.

 

Then explain why did he need to take a banned substance in order to KO the fat old shot past it Chagaev? Funny you call Chagaev old, while Browne is only a year younger than him. His power is not that immense, he couldn't KO James Toney, not to mention he couldn't even drop Welliver. So, I can deny his immense power.

Yes you picked him to win, hence the reason you're throwing a tantrum over Browne coming up a cheat.:rofl

 

Its not, most pro boxing commissions have no PED restrictions :nono

 

In this case the testing was done by VADA, so very good chance Browne was indeed using, and probably did everything right but fell into the byproduct trap, which VADA can detect.
When I hear Clenbuterol and when VADA did the testing, I'm 80% positive (no pun intended) that he didn't use it, and no contaminated food either, but was actually blood doping or using (Dyn)EPO.
To trow every positive test in Russia now on the conspericy pile (certainly when done by VADA) is bull and counterproductive. Giving potential cheaters a sort of free pass to take any kinda shirt they like.

 

I don't think it is, but much more like an outside possibility as that it should be the main goto place when anyone is caught on some s__t back there.
