    This is actually incorrect. Over the past few years Joshua has had less testing then Wilder. That is a fact. The stringent-ness of the testing regimen has also been one of the stumbling blocks for the Whyte rematch (obviously on top of the fee). These are matters of record.

    Indeed, but we are allowed to use our heads to make sense of things, rather than just blindly following the pronouncements of Hearn & Co. Leave the thread if you think it's pointless! I personally think the contents of this thread will be proved correct

    Have you got any proof that Wilder has been tested more often than Joshua? Joshua has been subject to Olympic Style Drug Testing as an amateur, and then since 2012 when he turned professional. He has used VADA for many of his fights, which makes him subject to organisations testing rather than just one.

    Wilder meanwhile, has only been subject to random drug testing since VADA and WBC brought out the Clean Boxing Program. US based fighters, as a rule, are not subject to random drug testing unless they specifically use VADA for a fight, or sign up to the Clean Boxing Program (which permits them to enter the top 15 of the WBC rankings).

    Making baseless allegations isn't using your head. It's utter stupidity.

    I'm not trotting off anywhere. I'm sticking around to watch you dig yourself into an even deeper hole.

    Indeed. But it is commonplace for elite athletes to push every possible advantage to the limit. Joshua has had a very sophisticated training regime since Team GB. They know what is and isn't allowed.

    As long as Joshua stays within the rules, as I think he does, then it's fine with me.

    You need a hobby! Or a job!

    Tell you what, let's make it real. If it turns out - between now and 1 year post-retirement that AJ has been granted a TUE or taken banned substances at some point in his career, then you owe me 500 quid. If he retires without anything like that happening, I'll give you the same.

    That's rich coming from someone who's starting threads alleging steroid abuse. Practice what you preach....

    I'm not making a stupid bet with an anonymous Potato on the internet. Get a life FFS.

    Everything will be picked up on and dissected. Everything.

    Can you kill that story completely without making his records public? Not in my view. PR, like politics is the art of the possible. I think another good analogy is the doctor who swears 'first, do no harm'.

    You're not making anything public if you say "he hasn't been granted a TUE"! You can't make public something that doesn't exist!

    Of course you are, you're also guaranteeing a thousand articles and a thousand follow up questions from a media that will never be sated.

    The other obvious question is why does a big healthy strong athletic 30 year old have such a crashed low testosterone level that he needs it artificially boosting

    Steroid abuse is a known reason for healthy young males to have testosterone levels in the gutter once they come off cycle
