    If Oscar Rivas had failed the test, I reckon they would have told the media, sent him home and brought in a last minute replacement.
    Any of Price, Chisora, Allen, Szpilka might have been bumped up to main event.
    They then would have petitioned to WBC to make Whyte mandatory anyway.

    Rivas has certainly been taking anabolic drugs though.
    If Rivas tested positive, it will come out soon.
    It will be even more of farce if that's the case.

    "It’s vital that all athletes at all levels of sport are aware of the rules and their responsibilities surrounding anti-doping," said UKAD chief executive Nicole Sapstead. “All athletes must adhere to the principal of strict liability and, should they fail to comply, risk a ban from all sport of up to four years.”

    That's who's running the show, if anyone has any questions for them.

    If UKAD is this corrupt or incompetent, the UK should be banned from the Olympics til they get serious about doping.

    And boxing sanctioning bodies should not allow title fights on UK soil if the BBBoC can’t even handle gloves properly.

    If Rivas had popped dirty in the same circumstances instead of Whyte would UKAD have informed Matchroom/Whyte based on their rules?

    We must be careful with word choice, but we absolutely have the right to ask them questions and to post publicly available info here.

    Very true but if Rivas has failed then it will take a hell of a lot of heat off Whyte.

    It's a highly educated guess, every one else has made less educated guesses today, I am allowed one highly educated one today. Thank you.

    What less educated guesses? The ones based on the word of a respected journalist who double sourced the story?

    You're guess is pulled straight out of your arse, you have no idea how Rivas would have responded to Dillian being a cheater.

    Where's Dillian's statement that clears everything up that Eddie promised us yesterday btw? Suspicious that it never materialised isn't it?
