    testing doesnt cost 30k. thats the most it could cost in a worst case scenario. Promotional companies make a killing they could easily set up their own in house testing. Fighters could be made obligated to turn up to test every so often as well as random testing.

    So yes, you do think he is juicing. Got there in the end.

    According to the letter of the law he is yeah.

    Why are we talking hypothetically about Joshua anyway? The world doesn’t revolve around him.

    Here with Whyte popped for “multiple banned substances”. We don’t have to point fingers and try and accuse others. Just condemn those who are guilty. If someone else is guilty too it doesn’t then make Whyte’s case ok.

    No. 5 of the top 8 are guilty of it. So why would I be shocked if one of the other 3 were.

    I'm pretty sad for Aydamn.. poor guy makes an entire account dedicated to ferociously fighting Dillian Whyte's corner for months and now Whyte lets him down like this :(

    In all seriousness though, there's only a few facts at the moment. Will be interesting to hear the full story.

    I don't know, guess it'll come out in dribs and drabs over the next few days. Because he's a British Matchroom fighter, I think Matchroom will try and do some damage limitation and will try and stop things going as public as it did with Miller.

    Hopefully full facts come out soon because at the moment we only have very limited info.

    Just asked your opinion on weather you think Joshua is juicing or not as for some reason you seem to take every opportunity to drag fury's name through the mud.

    your the one deflecting here, no one is defending Whyte he should be slaughtered for this if it is confirmed the has failed.

    The guy asked you a simple question that you dont wanna answer.

    Do you THINK AJ is clean? He isnt asking you is he guilty, not asking about technicalities.

    He is asking does your gut tell you that AJ isnt using certain substances to improve his performance, legal or not.

    Its a yes or no answer, no political side stepping is required bud.

    I think we all have a similar gut feeling whether that is right or not. The more impartial you seem towards all fighters then the more credibility can be applied to any other posts you make bud.

    Sorry if you think i am picking on you its just comes across that you are avoiding answering a very straight forward question.

    I disagree mate. He has never been angry with Matchroom. That was just playing a character. He gets PPV money to fight fringe contenders.

    Well as it stands he hasn't actually officially failed.

    Would be a shocker if it was an incorrect source

    My own sensible view is that everyone should wait until the official findings - innocent or guilty - are fully published.

    To date, one American journo has published something claiming A.

    Eddie Hearn in reply is claiming B.

    Im sure I heard it said on the overnight radio via Adam Catterall that Rivas and his team were made aware of the results that both UKAD and VADA cleared. This is a key point. TeamRivas were fully aware of the situation. They continued to fight.

    A cynic might suggest subterfuge from the Americans to cause to have Wilder avoid Whyte with Ruiz now able to try and press to avoid the UK.

    Anyway, I expect some will troll me (bothered) but the more astute will, like myself, hold fire, await the findings and then finally sling their sh*t in the deserving direction, be it America (journo) or the UK (Whyte).

    Could be right - wouldn't surprise me either.

    Previously though, I really hated listening to him as he was so biased. Since he started holding Matchroom to account he became far more reasonable in his opinions.

    Playing a character theory makes total sense too.

    Lol. I remember a comment before the Miller scandal saying how the 90s contenders were far better than today’s, and how the likes of Morrison, Ruddock and Tua would splatter Whyte, Miller, Parker etc and pro matchroom member Holler facetiously said they wouldn’t pass the drug tests. Well, Well, Well.
