    Well he's thrown Whyte under the bus too. No chance of implying to the public the failed test was a result of a supplement taken just prior to the fight when all the prep had been done. Five week's ago is slap bang in the middle of his training camp....

    The trace amounts thing doesn't even need mention if it's a substance that shouldn't be in your body at all.
    Usually athletes busted for doping are caught on trace amounts, as it rarely happens they injected on the same day they got tested, and didn't do anything to mask or flush it. Some substances are allowed in very low amounts, but the majority aren't.

    Whyte will try to fight in Moscow. That’s what.

    Was he a Red Army sleeping agent all along? Explains his Russian accent.

    So this guy Sav has picked it up from Steve Bunces Boxing podcast, and Buncey replied and said good enough for me.

    Eddie Hearn did keep saying that Hauser's article was not fully accurate regarding the actual substances, so maybe it wasn't Dianabol and was actually a listed substance and not prohibited and that's why the panel cleared him? Only time will tell.

    edit: It was actually Mike 'Magic Man' Costello on the podcast who looked at the regulations on the UKAD website and deduced that the holding of an immediate hearing suggested that they were talking listed, not prohibited substance. credit to @Holler

    Well the procedure seems to have been followed. As long as the fighters are advised of the procedure OR the procedure if publicly available, nobody is successfully suing anybody, even if it's bull**** (unless it can be proven to be illegal). Combat sports in Britain are heavily protected in law, which is mostly quite nice, but not today...

    The B sample, it's true that guys being cleared on the B are rare, but it has happened. I think the B thing is OK given the consequences.

    The way the whole hearing thing went down, I'd suggest that Whyte has a good "it was an accident!" case.

    The thing I don't understand is the delay. When is the B sample going to be read? From what I can pick up, the B sample thing is driven by the subject, by Whyte. So what's the delay? He should be rabid trying to get that done and he should be telling us when even if he isn't doing it right now. Anyone? Anyone heard anything?

    Eddie Hearn gave a big interview on IFL today about it.

    I get the feeling that Whyte will be cleared.
    Hes not technically banned by anyone, the UKAD board which is a govt body deemed him fight to fight....VADA found nothing.

    I dunno, maybe I'm wrong but I feel this isn't as severe as some are making it out

    He's still getting rolled by the WBC regardless.

    Steve "Porky Pig" Bunce is a hard shill related to anything UK boxing wise. So I'd take what he says with a shovel full of salt.

    If true thats good news for Whyte and British Boxing. If not and it turns out to be a real pedding incident then he should be banned and UKAD and the BBoC need to look into their practices. But if he is cleared of any wrong doing what are the chances the WBC still get a bit tricky about un-suspending him from the mando spot? I just have a feeling.

    I'm hoping that's the case. Whyte's a good fighter to have mixing it up with the better names in the division, and it's just plain better for boxing to clear a doping case like this, if possible.

    One thing's for sure, though, if confirmed, Aydamn will be as smug as Floyd Mayweather swimming in a pool full of $100 bills, and really, I'll not blame him.

    This doesn’t even make sense . How do you fail a test for something that is not prohibited? Why would they text for this?

    Just doesn’t add up.

    It's not Bunce, who for all his enthusiasm. isn't the sharpest tool in the box, but mike Costello on the podcast who looked at the regulations on the U.K. ad website and deduced that the holding of an immediate hearing suggested that they were talking listed not prohibited.

    It made a lot of sense, but it was the sort of interesting detail that didn't sit well with the prevailing winds here and elsewhere online as it didn't pay well with the preferred narrative.
