    ??? 48 hours before a title fight.... Oh dear :-(... If I did that I would literally be unable to breath doing anything brisker then a walk.

    Doubt it, my old corporal told me that you would have be in a phone box with eight joints going for it to show up through passive smoking. Saying that though he also told me my mum was a tramp so who know's.

    Chad Dawson was done for the same offence.

    I actually thinka fine would suffice with skunk. It's not exactly performance-enhancing, in fact it probably makes it harder for one to box if you smoke it!

    Herb can stay in your system for about four months apparently.

    I quit years ago but banning people for the odd smoke is miserable-arse, prohibitionist ****ing stupidity, it's not going to make anyone a better fighter.

    What's the point in a six month ban? It doesn't make him any better of a fighter.

    Not boxing related but Mark Lewis Francis the fat tit 100m runner from the Midlands tested positive for wacky backy and got away with it on the basis of passive smoking it.
