    It's only a 6-month suspension. The Champ will be back after that no doubt.

    VADA only catches drug users. The sanctioning bodies punish them. WBA should suspend him for 1 year minimum.

    Who cares? He's an ancient and only fights bums anyways. Doubt this will deter him one bit. Would be totally down for Briggs/Browne in Monaco or something though. Neither have anything to lose at this point.

    I am shocked. Shocked to hear that Shannon 'The Cannon' Briggs isn't 100% natural!

    Well regardless... It's not like everyone and their mother didn't know he was on the sauce. Certainly not shocking in the slightest.....

    Guys probably been doping for the better part of two decades now, to the point where I wouldn't be surprised if he dropped dead sometime in his 40's like Kimbo Slice. Always being on gear like that is going to kill you. He's probably moved onto HGH like most other athletes, which is supposed to be less toxic. But what do I know.

    It's next to impossible to know who's doing PEDs but there are some guys who just scream roids and Briggs is about as blatant a case as you can get. Joshua is another, but because he's the current golden boy of the sport he'll remain protected. The whole thing's a massive sham really.

    It's over for him. What chance does he have of climbing the rankings in such a fortuitous way again? Slim and none and slim just left town.

    The real question is where the **** does this leave Oquendo? Having to face Ustinov or Ortiz?
