WBC clarifies Whyte's status

tl;dr for anyone - his spot for Wilder is still suspended til' the B sample comes back as negative.

 

I still don’t understand why it’s taking so long, just test the B sample and get it over and done with! The way it’s going he might get to fight 10 more fights in 5 years before testing the B sample! I wonder if that’s the plan

 

The Jurgen Anti Pudding Agency (JAPA) has confirmed Whyte's P Test has come back positive - there is no doubt he is a pudding.

 

They must know what the B sample shows so are trying to find a lovely loophole

 

Whyte still staying quiet. Hilarious

 

The B sample will be the same as the A. From what I can see they are just trying to draw it out as long as possible to make it too expensive for UKAD to pursue.

 

Has there ever been a negative result on the P test?

 

Yes. Bernard Lagat for example was cleared after his B sample apparently came back negative. There are other examples out there; tests are not foolproof and false positives are possible (although unlikely).

Lagat's A sample result was released in August 2003, and he wasn't cleared until October 2003. The delay in Whyte's case is not necessarily indicative that the B sample will also come back positive.

In the vast majority of cases though the B sample corroborates the A sample, and will lead to a violation unless the athlete can provide a valid explanation, or the authorities for whatever reason do not pursue it.


Sorry - misread original post. I'll keep it up there in case anyone finds it useful

 

Lagat was in 2003. You won't find a case recently where a B sample comes back negative. The only hope for Dillian is some sort of lab mishandling or procedural error and even that is 99% unlikely.

 

Marian Jones I assume got off on the B sample because they didnt fully follow protocol.

So more a technicality than an inaccurate test

Absolutely ridiculous as he is a confirmed drug cheat but walked free due to procedural error. I think it will take a courageous ex pro to come out and lift the lid on doping and testing before we actually see any progress. At the moment it seems to be cat and mouse.

 

THE OFFICIAL VERDICT IS OUT!!!!
