Dillian Whyte got banned for the same stimulant that Tony Dodson got 5 months for and Enzo Macrinelli 6 months. The product was listed as geranium on the can and is not banned outside competition it just cannot be in your system on fight night. I just hope he hasn't wasted his time over the last 2 years but according to this he hasn't . http://m.youtube.com/watch?list=PLN4X-lQ59KxuFs79t727mE8AY-f61yVsW&v=GrzgHOmWDYo&index=1
Ya you do have to feel for him a bit, 1,3 Dimethylamylamine (also known as DMAA and a host of other things) is a powerful stimulant that not too long before White's ban was still available over the counter in supplement shops and health stores as an ingredient in many pre workout powders. Infact the law only banned shops from buying/importing more stock of it to sell, they were still allowed to sell off any remaining products including the ingredient. Now fighters should really be aware of what substances they can, and what substances they can't take. However lets be honest most of them don't. It is likely due to this that White was given a harsh ban, to make an example of him so more fighters starts taking note of what their actually putting into themselves.
He beat Joshua as an amatuer. So what does anyone really think he beats him now? He be an OK pro but not a top 5 prospect. Not sure he's a top 10 prospect .....probably not.
He seems to have a great attitude and have remained focused while banned, will be great to see him back and wish him all the best. As someone else stated, a great addition to the domestic scene.
Good luck to him but if he tests positive and cheats again give him a five year ban from all boxing activity
No but in general HGH is illegal to supply for general use.. Which reflects the position in sports. You can't go from 5' 6' to 6' 0'.
Basically it means a suspect can't go from one height to another.. or change his appearance drastically. Unless it's a legal *** change etc.
Was early in both there amateur careers, think it was AJ's 3rd fight as an 18 year old. The improvements he's made since that fight is night and day.
