    Whyte passed all VADA tests, as far as VADA is concerned regarding their VADA program, Whyte is clear.

    VADA spend all day figuring out the most effective way to test athletes, and to schedule randomised testing, this is their job

    They have eggheads, who are passionate about anti doping, who sit down with coffee in meetings and discuss how to create an effective anti doping program.

    VADA have many employees, worldwide, and they train officers tasked with carrying out antidoping testing.

    They do not need to rely on any third party, or other antidoping AGENCIES for their own program to be effective. The VADA anti doping program is standalone, and not in association with any other antidoping agency when carrying out testing, they are employed by WBC and athletes world wide to ensure that doping does not take place.

    VADA did their job to the best of their ability, and Whyte was cleared.

    Whilst UKAD lack deep financial pockets to compete with the lawyers of multi millionaire sportsman, they are not cowboys and they adhere to standards set by WADA.

    However, let’s forget about alphabets just for a moment. He had approximately 7 tests throughout a 84 day camp. He failed one of those tests.

    To call him a reporter arguably plays down his credibility. Give this a quick skim if you don’t know who he is [url]https://www.boxnation.com/boxing-news-authors/thomas-hauser/[/url]

    The WBC haven’t suspended him just on the information Hauser have provided. It’s since been revealed that there was an adverse finding in his UKAD test. There was a meeting regarding this prior to the fight. We have not been privy to what was discussed in this meeting, but only that he was cleared to fight. Just to add, just because he was cleared to fight doesn’t mean the test was clean and everything was ok...for example, a very similar thing happened to Tyson Fury who was then allowed to fight Klitschko & it all came out a considerable amount of time afterwards.

    We haven’t heard ‘officially’ what the adverse finding was, but we haven’t had any denial from Whyte, Hearn, Sky etc. If there wasn’t any dianabol metabolites in the test, believe me, they would have shouted from the rooftops that the adverse finding wasn’t steroids.

    Expect a weak backdated ban that will barely be a wrist slap, and him having to try and work his way back into a mandatory position for a WBC shot.

    I would either pick Warrington or Taylor- both deserve it.

    I think the only person who could feel hard done by is Warrington there. He had a great year.

    How can Callum Smith even be considered ? All he's done this year is beat a well past it middleweight. It's got to be Warrington or Taylor.

    it's from august18-august19 so callum beat groves and n'dam in that period.Warrington had frampton-galahad.Taylor had martin-baranchyk.So it's tough to choose a clear winner imo.
