Depending on when he got popped for it will say a lot, it's only detectable for a couple of days after use
According to wikipedia, it is used as diagnostic agent for Growth Hormone deficiency (I'm pretty sure Okolie doesn't have this), and it's only marketed in Japan. Okolie will probably just pull the usual trick of claiming the adverse finding was from a contaminated supplement.
If you're Yoka you're taking that Bakole rematch, easy work to get the defeat levelled, Bakole on short notice must look terrible
First three rounds would be perilous though. I’m not sure he’d fancy it, would be an extremely bad look if he was to lose again.
Bakolie on short notice he be in terrible shape, Yoka is one more defeat from probably calling it a day. May as well try and get revenge and a decent payday from there. It's sold well in Paris 10k crowd. They are loyal to Yoka so I think they have to put him in with someone decent if they can name wise, win or lose.
The positive is we might finally get a watchable main event if they line up a decent replacement. As for Lawrence, unless he can completely clear his name, that’s likely him going quiet for a couple of years, and Bricktop won’t be hanging around to hold his hand either. Unless Bakole is posting Katie Price’s husbands-style AI pics, he actually looks in some semblance of shape. Would be the twist of all twists if he ends up resurrecting his career. Edit : Show has been cancelled.
I know it's probably genuine but I find it hilarious every time this happens, "I'm confident I'll clear my name" is the first reaction. How often does it actually happen and not just a silent ban while they pretend to appeal it? Also poor that the show got cancelled. Matchroom were going on last week about how they saved their show despite losing the main event, Queensberry aren't quite as generous - this is the 2nd this year they've cancelled / postponed entirely...
I will give a scenario. Imagine individuals like say a Sheik or a huge streaming company got involved in boxing? It could happen! Do you think ok fighters would roll the dice by say doping, winning a few fights impressively in the hope of getting a slot on one of those type shows? I mean they could always just try to use their 'elite' skills in the hope of getting millions of pounds overpaid anyway. No chance of risk/reward and not getting caught
No need to imagine mate, Benn’s already shown the blueprint and now Zuffa are providing the platform.
I can't understand why boxers don't contact a doctor who can help take a blood test to find out how much performance enhancing drugs their body can absorb. We humans are different. Some can take a lot of illegal drugs without testing positive. Others can't. Almost all the top players in the Premier League take illegal drugs because the match schedule is so insanely tough and they are required to perform every week. There are plenty of doctors out there who have a very lucrative business helping top athletes. Conor Benn should also consider seeing a "sports doctor". Otherwise, the huge amount of money Zuffa Boxing is investing in him wasted.
