    At the point you don't try to get gagging order over the story, or try and move the fight to a different licencing, or push on regardless of a fail leaked to the media, or claim you only just knew about despite knowing for a while, or forget to mention he'd **** dirty already a month earlier, or claim that there was evidence the whole testing protocol was incorrect and it would change the whole industry, or say a 280 page document clearly proved his innocence or try and make a fight for him in the middle east despite being banned or try shopping round every jurisdiction to try and get a new license or say he'd been cleared of all wrong doing when he hadn't, when a promoter doesn't do some (or all of these points) then there aren't that many questions to answer.

    Warren has been asked about it loads, however unlike others he tells it like it is and does not look for immoral loopholes around it.

    He said in an interview this week that Tete deserved to be banned.

    No drug testing for McCann vs Baluta or Clarke vs Allen. Disappointing, there needs to be a lot more drug testing.

    Can’t believe the praise Frank Warren is getting for not defending Tete when Tete was never signed to Warren. I’d like to hear these people’s thoughts on how Warren defended Billy Joe Saunders for a failed test?

    He was signed with Frank for years.

    The BJS fail is totally different, it was a fail and deservedly so, but it was BJS team being to dumb to read the difference between vada and ukad

    You don’t actually believe that crap about the nasal spray do you? Most likely it was far worse.

    So what if he was signed to Warren for years? At the time he was not signed to Warren.

    So what if the BJS fail was different? He clearly failed a test and Warren did all he could to stop the commission from preventing BJS from fighting Andrade. And it was likely worse than what was made out.

    Just say things straight rather than defending Warren all the time like he is your father.

    No I'm guessing like most high end fighters he had got that out his system ages ago. This was just dumb

    I think he still was at the time. He was still listed on their site.

    Down here from Spain I have noticed that Eddie Hearn keeps saying that Conor Benn has been cleared. Who has cleared Conor Benn ?

    Only people are the WBC who dismissed his claims but gave him a new excuse

    The NADP hence why there is an appeal lodged.

    If they never unsuspended him there would be no appeal from ukad and the bboc.

    He actually threatened to sue the commission in the USA.

    A fact very much forgotten about.
