Well - the one thing you'd say that aligns with Hearn's recent chatter is, more than half the violations were in rugby league, who also had a disproportionately high number of tests compared to other sports so maybe they do naturally catch their fair share. The fact there are hardly any violations in football despite literally thousands of tests, raises a question.
Sims gym: Conor Benn - failed a test Craig Richards - pulled out of 2 fights close to the fight date (one on fight week) after the Benn failed test. Both put down as illness. Felix Cash - pulled out of 2 fights within days of his fight date. One was 2 weeks before Benn failed a test, one a few months after. The one fight he did have, 2 months after Benn’s failed test, he looked horrendous. Both pull outs were put down as illness. Joe Cordina - went from feather fisted at British level to ironing out world champions with one punch From July (month of Benn’s first failed test) to March the Sims gym saw 4 pull outs for ‘illness’ (3 on fight week) and 2 failed tests. @DramaShow send that to the Matchroom lawyers.
Add to this Tony Sims documented history as a major villain suggests he's not obverse to breaking the odd rule in the interest of making money... All very suspect.
I suggest you pay for DAZN I doubt very much Matchroom's lawyers will approve of your means of watching their product Twit
I'm not suggesting it I'm saying I imagine that who people are pointing fingers at The 2 tests being both Conor Benns fails. Ingle? Well he barely trains anyone now does he?
I might add that I have personally seen famous boxers insert a syringe into one of their buttocks. I also remember a coach who had a very special water bottle with contents that he had made at home. If the boxer was tired, he had a drink from the bottle during the ring break and all of a sudden the boxer was no longer tired but full of energy. Amazing
Without making any accusations here (in case people start pressing the 'report' button)... If someone is being voluntarily VADA tested as Whyte said he was, outside of competition, I'm assuming nobody needs to know about a failed test. As long as any contractual or commission-led testing is negative then someone could be failing routinely and put it down to 'injury'. Right?
Did you get that top job at Matchroom you were after a few months ago? Your loyalty to the brand is beyond any doubt.
Since you can't appear to write, I'll try and make it more readable. If a particular boxer's tests are not a contractual obligation between fighters (as is sometimes the case), and aren't random UKAD tests via the BBBoC or another body, a fighter is presumably under no obligation to disclose them. It's quite possible 'injuries' are private tests they failed.
