What exactly were the levels of nandrolone please? There was no reference to what the levels were for either Tyson or Hughie in the UKAD decision. I can’t find any specific reference to them elsewhere.
The wild boar story was never accepted by UKAD and it wasn't ever the Furys main line in their 'defence' either, despite the media interest in it. The Furys' main defence was that UKAD had told them originally that there were 'elevated levels', not a positively failed test, and that there would be no further action. 16 months later UKAD, for reasons never fully explained, announced it was a failed test and brought their charges. Do we really have to be repeating all this again in 2020 ? And, yes, 'false positives' for nandrolone, and natural causes for the presence of nandrolone metabolites, IS a real phenomenon. That doesn't mean we should all believe Fury didn't cheat but from a legal standpoint if nothing else it allows a degree of dispute and allows a plausible plea in that direction. Does this really need to be explained and re-explained time and time again ?
They have never been revealed but we have to assume they were low enough for UKAD to give them advice on future conduct and tell them no further action would be taken. That was UKAD's formal reaction at the time and we have had no explanation as to why that was revoked and charges made retrospectively. Could Dillian Whyte also be facing charges retrospectively in 2 years time?
Fair enough. UKAD’s actions (or lack of them) at the time are inexplicable. Strictly speaking, it would be reasonable supposition rather than “fact” that the levels were negligible. Nandrolone positives have been one of the most controversial areas of anti-doping over the years to be fair. There rarely seems to be a nandrolone case that isn’t littered with question marks and anomalies.
I'm wondering if Hearns negotiating tactic for the mega fights (Wilder and Fury) is to shout how much they want to make the fight, whilst going out his way to offend the other side so they dont want to do business with him. With Wilder it was constant Shirley Winkle in every youtube interview for months now going out his way when he knows 100% Whyte has no claim to title to antagonize team Fury.
Worked well for Wilder; he's now an exposed joke who was beaten pillar to post for less money than he'd have got if they'd taken the Joshua offer. Great work by his team and advisers. Honestly, do you really think people are going to turn down Joshua money because Hearn called them a silly name?
He got beat pillar to post by an ATG on top form. Joshua got beat pillar to post of a guy who isnt fit enough to tie Tyson Furys shoelaces. Does that make Joshua a bad fighter, no of course not he is world class, as is Wilder, regardless how he lost to Fury.
Hearn is just a slimy weasly **** who would have his gran infected with coronavirus just to stay healthy. If he’s so interested in tabloid gossip talk he should address why his parents are named in the infamous black book of prolific pa edophile, convicted sex offender and human trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
Al Haymon is the leader Guy seems to be able to convince all his clients to take deals that benefit PBC and not their own futures Its genuinely a weird thing, and it seems to be controlled by one thing which I'll let other people decide
