I might not be an expert when it comes to this, but one question is, doesn’t Hearn employ VADA and UKAD for AJ’s UK Fights ? So technically nothing changed apart from fighting in a different country ?
GGG is the third high profile boxer accusing AJ lol... First it was Chisora, "if this fight was in UK, this wouldn't have happened" then Whyte "TUE therapeutic use exemption wasn't granted" now GGG..... It's becoming evident that these pros are keeping us in the dark on AJ's PED use, and they don't wanna be a snitch, so they just kinda act dumb, but I'm beginning to do the math and see it.
Of course he physically recovered from it, what I'm saying is I doubt this is a case of AJ being unable to competently defend himself because he couldn't benefit from a so called PED induced second wind, it was bewilderment and straight up not knowing how to deal. Don't get me wrong, Ruiz is a bad style match up for him and I expect the same **** to happen in the rematch.
No one suggested he couldn't defend himself due to the roids. The argument is that he wasn't his usual peak self that would maintain the explosiveness and rapid aggression through the rounds, even after emptying his tank. I would give AJ a chance in the rematch, because he will be back on the gear. Anywhere else where he is forced to fight on a level playing field and Ruiz retires him for good.
Christ.. You're intentionally misleading the argument. There's more to it than defence. The gist of my point is being off PED's for mere months isn't turning anyone into goo. When the implication is that a major reason why he lost and got beat up is because he couldn't take roids then defence, including offence as defence, factors into it. Especially if you're mentioning a second wind. There's more to a second wind than explosiveness and keeping up an unnatural work rate, there's retaining enough stamina in the arms and legs to move, clinch, push, roll with punches, etc. One can't bring up roids as AJ's saviour and bringer of all his accomplishments and not factor in every single edge the various PED boosted athletic traits would entail. Plus, it's classic you wanna accuse AJ of all this because he's built but your hero Wilder gets the benefit of doubt because... he weighs 210lbs with tooth picks for legs? By that logic the tour de france is the shining example of clean sport. Keep that same energy all the time.
No, VADA is a private agency. UK athletes are under the control of UKAD. If they wanted VADA they would specifically have to negotiate for VADA. They're not interchangeable. VADA is probably the most stringent agency out there because of their philosophy. For ex. they deviate from WADA Protocol in the handling of steroids by not allowing any synthetic steroids at all via use of their developed CiR test. I say developed because the man who invented this test is their chief science officer, among many other pioneering efforts.
smh had nothing 2 do with roids u guys are nuts..he got caught and beat.. its heavyweights it can happen 2 anyone...
Funny thing, the NY commission didn't allow him to have a snickers bar before walking out lol. He said it really ticked him off.
I’m not saying AJ is juicing but the BJS failed drug test situation exposed the huge flaws in how the UKAD operate.. Like I said if BJS vs Andrade was in the UK they would have allowed the fight to still go on which is pure ridiculousness.. I could be wrong but I don’t think AJ been doing VADA for his fights in the UK..
He's been on Peds his whole boxing career. Should we really try to figure out why his balls seem to be shrinking his hair fell out and all the stuff. Plus he tries to blame people for boxers for using a list of substance or peds constantly,m which that means he's probably guilty of doing it
