    Fury banned for less?
    Failed drugtest for Nandrolone against Hammer.
    Failed a random drugtest for coke.
    Refusing a random drugtest (equals failing one) and mouthing off the testers.

    I think he got off fairly easy with his carefully crafted 2 years backdated and served ban. Even the Hammer win was allowed to stand for some reason beyond my comprehension.

    Never failed test v hammer, slightly higher levels. But my point was he got punished for snorting a few lines when not a licensed boxer, which was wrong. There are a few cases of boxers being banned before fights for taking drugs, not just if on drugs during fight.

    That's not what UKAD stated.

    It says elevated levels not a straight failed test.

    Hearn actually explains it quite Well.

    So he’s passed usada tests (irrelevant because he would only fail that for what he’s taking 12 hours before the fight) but he failed his very first vada test.

    50/50 if the US people pass it . I guarantee it would be 90/10 if BJS was Eddies fighter!!

    if it gets the go ahead it's irrelevant what he took it what he thought were the rules. Makes a real mockery of the whole system and undermines VADA, what is the point of them if this gets brushed aside because other testing companies/rules difer to there's so we will let him off!!

    I'll likely imagine that it's not just boxers who receive instruction on how to get around the rules: I'd guess it's all sports, much like what Russia were banned from the Olympics for. Moreover, it's not just UKAD, it's all countries.

    If his contract included drug testing by VADA and he’s failed a VADA drug test, surely there can only be one outcome?

    Saunders and Warren are in another planet with there statement s saying everything is fine the fight will go ahead !

    They have broke the contract there is no chance Andrade and his team fight him now . If the commission give the go ahead which I can't see how they can ? Andrade could just sue the fuc k out of everyone for breach of contract !

    Yeah hes a cheater. Conte says this drug being allowed for out of competition use in the UK is a bad loophole.
