    Ouch. It's an anabolic. It's gonna be changed to an NC. Massive fail.

    The guy came in overweight AND was roided to the gills. And won due to his power. That's a tainted win.

    I don’t know much about this PED, but I found this:

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enobosarm

    Aside from its development as a potential pharmaceutical drug, enobosarm is on the World Anti-Doping Agency list of prohibited substances and is sold for physique- and performance-enhancing purposes by black-market Internet suppliers.[10][17] In one survey, 2.7% of young male gym users reporting using SARMs.[23] In addition, a London wastewater analysis found that enobosarm was the most abundant "pharmaceutical drug" detected and was more prevalent than recreational drugs like MDMA and cocaine.[24] Enobosarm is often used in these contexts at doses greatly exceeding those evaluated in clinical trials, with unknown effectiveness and safety.[17]Many products sold online that are purported to be enobosarm either contain none or contain other unrelated substances.[17][25]Social media has played an important role in facilitating the widespread non-medical use of SARMs.

    Most often these days, athletes are caught with masking agents in their systems. But Ostarine isn't even a masking agent. It is a physical performance enhancing agent.

    He's f....ed!!

    Hmm.. very suspicious. Sounds distinctly like a set-up to me. Like someone's palms have been greased after Ryan made it nigh on impossible for the corrupt as sin ref and three judges to save Haney and preserve his zero, especially the ref who did everything in his power to ensure Haney didn't get KO'd and to ensure he was able to hang in there by holding like crazy from first bell to last.

    We know that Haney has the full force of the hype and corruption machine behind him and we saw it on full display against Ryan and Loma. who were never supposed to win those fights and only a KO win would be enough and even then something like this would ever so conveniently crop up had they managed to upset Haney and beat the machine

    Pretty sure Ostarine is a sarm. It's what Khan failed for vs. Brook. Not sure about it's anabolic effects but it is supposed to strengthen bones.

    I think that's just his sense of humour and being crazy again. Either way, Haney has been working with disgraced PED guru Vic Conte for years and many suspect that's the new 'legal' way of cheating

    And everything I said about Haney having the full force of the corruption machine behind him and it undeniably being on full display in the Ryan and Loma fights still stands.

    Something is indeed up. Ryan didn't even look as jacked as he usually does. Plus why didn't he get popped in his other massive fights?

    Miller was stupid enough to be taking 3 drugs, some of these boxers are just stupid and most likely take it on their own hoping it clears and their team doesn’t know or somebody on his team dun goofed.
