Saunders fails drug test?

He signed up for VADA testing for this fight and the substance that has come up is BANNED in or out of competition under the VADA rules . He's **** ed!!

 

Exactly. That puke Jones should actually be in jail. And he should also have another L on his record after the Gus fight.

 

Well I'm not even sure USADA follows WADA guidelines. So I think any info regarding the matter coming from USADA is irrelevant.

WADA and VADA is what matters here. There are talks of cancelling the fight and stripping BJ. Who knows what's really goingnto happen. Like you said, we need more info.

 

not too far from Andrade's hometown of Providence, Rhode Island, said whatever happens with Saunders and the Massachusetts commission the show will go on.

"Billy Joe will apply for a license in Massachusetts and they will make the decision if he is allowed to box," Hearn told ESPN. "The most important thing is that Demetrius Andrade fights for the world title on Oct. 20. If Billy Joe Saunders is ruled out and stripped of the title, we will be looking to make a fight for the vacant world title."

Hearn said Andrade will fight in the main event be it against Saunders, another opponent for the vacant title or a nontitle fight if a vacant title bout can't be arranged on such short notice.

"If Saunders is stripped, we will do whatever we can to make sure Andrade is fighting for the vacant title on Oct. 20," Hearn said.

Representatives for Saunders and Warren did not return messages from ESPN seeking comment.

Paco Valcarcel, president of the WBO, whose belt Saunders holds, told ESPN that the sanctioning organization has received the drug test results but would not make any decisions regarding the belt until Massachusetts decides whether or not it will license Saunders.

"If he doesn't get licensed we will strip him," Valcarcel said. "If he gets licensed we will still investigate the doping and at that time determine if we will sanction the fight."

Though Saunders failed a VADA test, he will not face any punishment from the British Boxing Board of Control, which regulates boxing in the United Kingdom because oxilofrine is only banned in the U.K. "in competition," which the British Boxing Board of Control defines as being only on the day of the fight.

"Mr. Saunders is not in breach of British Boxing Board of Control/United Kingdom Anti-Doping regulations," Robert Smith, the British Boxing Board of Control general secretary, wrote in a letter to VADA and the promoters, a copy of which was obtained by ESPN. "Please note, in Great Britain in-competition testing is the evening of the contest, anything prior to that is out of competition.

"In addition, Mr. Saunders has been tested a number of times in 2018, all negative, his last out of competition test by UKAD was on 24th September 2018 and I will advise of the result when it is made available."

However, Saunders could still face punishment from Massachusetts because oxilofrine is banned under VADA rules in and out of competition.

 

You're not fooling anyone.

The American that hates every single American fighter, oh apart from Joe Smith jr and Chris Algeiri lmao. Go slurp some more Russian nuts you fraud.

 

I guess - and it is only an educated guess - the substance in BJS's blood stream is judged to have no long term potential impact on performance but clenbuterol does. Personally, I'm not giving him a totally free pass over this - if I was an athlete I'd not go near anything I wasn't sure of - because in the end he failed a test but it seems he hasn't committed an offence...

 

I know for sure UKAD say it's not a breach of their regulations either. I deffo read that earlier tonight...

 

Well do we know the levels he tested positive for? Canelo only tested positive for trace amounts and it was much further away from a fight. The first thing we need to do to make an educated anything is we need to know what levels Billy Hoe tested for and when he tested positive.

Surely there will be a lot of comparisons between Oxilofrine and Clenbuterol and which has more long term benefits, but with Canelo it was only trace amounts consistent with contaminated meat which needs to be considered as well.

 

Billy Bob Saunders looks real smart and cool and good and all that right about now.

Oh well. Is what it is. He's no different than the next guy.

 

^^^^ Lol!!

Do you know what the word hypocrite means?? Honest question. Go ahead and google it, I still doubt it would even register in that ***** skull of yours.

You were On this Saunders thread like a fly on **** huh? Lol! Does it make you mad this ‘case’ is already being dismissed?

 

Or you can be like Canelo fans really were and consider all the facts and evidence before passing judgement whether for good or bad.

 

And hopefully BJS wins this fight on ballsack shots and we can call it “crafty” and tell these idiots to stop “whining”
