    A mockery of the rules if he does.

    He should serve his ban and count himself lucky it was only 6 months and not a ban for life like he wanted for Canelo

    He'll be fighting in a Nando's near you.
    He's also promoting the event.

    The undercard will feature eight homeless alcoholics fighting a Battle Royale.

    Saunders' son features in a 4-round bout against another kid, under new rules. Blows above the belt will be considered fouls.

    Round Card Girls for the main event have been replaced by unwashed and intoxicated street prostitutes, pathetic crack and smack addicts. A prize will be awarded to the ringside audience member who can come up with the most creative stream of verbal abuse in the one minute break ..... all just banter mind you.

    Long-haired freaks will not be admitted, because they scare the kids.
    Gareth A Davies of The Telegraph being the only exception.

    It's annoying because there's so many fights you'd want him to be in; Golovkin, Canelo, Jacobs, Andrade and Heffron would all be interesting bouts.

    It's shameful he hasn't fought in 2018. He's a joke at this stage.

    Didn’t break the rules, bud. VADA have different set of rules to the proper organisation WADA who do have the powers to ban fighters. VADA just drop their findings in with journalists and whoever who then kick up a fuss which is exactly what happened. Under WADA he is free to box.

    Unfortunately he's handled himself so poorly, and been so poorly promoted, that he now has to be a doubt for getting any real major fights. He's an idiot, with no fans, who generates no money, so from a financial POV, he's toxic. But, he's also a quality operator, who could quite easily derail the career of many of the above. He's the ultimate no reward v massive risk boxer at the moment and that makes him very avoidable. The really big names will in all likelihood just drop belts if he gets into position. Nobody is ever going to be asking a guy with a record including Golovkin, Mayweather, Cotto, Lara, Mosley and so on on it why he never fought Saunders.

    The rules are wrong though. In training camp is in competition to me. That’s the best time to take drugs! He cheated and there’s no two ways about it.

    I think there are two arguments here. He didn't technically cheat across the board as some jurisdictions don't see 'in competition' as being 'in training.' But in this case it seems that the rules aren't fit for purpose and to all intents Saunders clearly is a drug cheat.

    The rules are the rules though bud. They do need changing but at the moment that’s what they are and fighters train and prepare within those rules. A cheat is someone who breaks the rules but he literally hasn’t so he can’t be called a cheat.

    What part of he was caught sniffing ephedrine dont you understand???

    He was signed up by VADA for the fight and he DID break the rules ,hence why he got banned and stripped/vacated...

    All fights should be VADA tested because testing on the night only is a complete joke

    He technically hasn’t broke any rules but he took drugs and that to me is a cheat. In competition / out of competition is irrelevant in my opinion. If you’re an active fighter you shouldn’t be allowed to take performance enhancers.

    Their board normally adhere’s to WADA, strangely they decided to go with VADA on this one. He broke the contract though and therefore lost the fight. That’s fair enough. However, under the OFFICIAL rules (WADA) he hasn’t broken the rules so therefore he shouldn’t have to serve a ban nor be called a drug cheat.

    Technically is all that matters. Until WADA change their rules he’s free to fight in December and shouldn’t be serving any bans.
