    The real issue here isn't that Whyte failed a test, it's that the fight was allowed to proceed knowing that he'd failed a test. Either way, it's pretty damning for the parties involved. I wonder if it would have been allowed to proceed if it hadn't been on PPV.... The whole thing stinks to high heaven.

    Exactly. The big giveaway is there is no denial.

    Fury has got saint status on here I reckon.

    Yes true. Whyte has failed before so and he’s rightly getting stick anyway.

    Amazingly this would still be their best defence so far

    Whyte failing a test is 10000000000 percent also the issue

    What can Warren really say. That guy was quite happy for BJS to fight Andrade. He actually denies BJS was guilty of any wrongdoing. Not much difference here.

    He at least has the profile to call on UKAD to clarify what the hearing was about and what the violation actually was. I see no reason why this should be clouded in secrecy.

    I agree with that. There certainly needs to be more transperancy.

    I just listened again and you are correct; he has the ability to get them to commit - and not that they already are. Thank you

    Yes but secondary to the issue of the fight being allowed to carry on with knowledge that he had failed. What's the point of testing otherwise? This is about the sport as a whole, not just Dillian ****ing Whyte.

    What would have happened to all the governing bodies and boxing in general if Rivas suffered some catastrophe in the ring that night.........I can only see black or white in this matter there can’t be grey when it comes to fighters at this level as it’s a dangerous sport.

    Was the 200 character tweet Dillians full statement that would help us fans establish the facts?
