Does Tyson Fury get a pass for being a drugs cheat?

Shouldn't really, as it's clear that he's a drugs cheat. But because it looks like he has the body of a 50 year old, he gets a pass. If he was ripped and shredded to high heaven the public would have turned on him, as things stand it's largely been ignored. God knows what he's currently on - losing all that weight and getting back into some sort of shape in such a short period of time.

 

Spot on

 

Tyson also refused a test, which is the same as failing. Like the failed test, it “up and vanished like a fart in the wind” in Shawshank parlance.

As for AJ, I keep thinking if he gets seriously max VADA tested (as in tested at a high level of frequency over the course of an entire training camp), he’ll be like Bane in that bad Batman and Robin movie when they pulled the plug on the pumped enhancers and he’ll just shrink and shrivel away to almost nothing.

 

He accepted the ban so that he could resume his career. Accepting plea bargains is not acceptance of guilt.

 

The guy is bipolar with serious mental problems and has battled depression for a long time. His telling UKAD officials to **** off is again not evidence of guilt.

 

It was obviously a bit less clear cut than many think.. It seems to me that there was some negotiating done to get some sort of acceptable resolution for both sides..

I do wonder where Peter Fury fits into all of this given he and Tyson obviously has a big falling out..

 

Yes he's bipolar but he is also a professional athlete and at the time he was lineal heavyweight champion of the world. Telling testers to f*** off is unforgivable.

Yes UKAD acted unprofessionally, but the black and white of it is that there would of been no case against Fury without an A and B sample failure and the refusal to take another test. This wasn't just an over the counter pre-workout supplement.

Not only that, but also they had to take into account his reputation and what it would mean for britishing boxing if one of their champions is found to be a known drug cheat.

What I'd like to have seen is for the Klitschko Fury fight to be deemed void.

As it is he is still being praised highly for that victory even though he was using during that time period and no doubt still is.

 

Do i believe he was juicing? Yes i do. That's why i think it's going to be hard for him to reach the levels he did before. He might get away with it for his first bout but after that he needs to stay clean IMO.

 

It's all to do with politics of the sport.

If Fury was behaving as he is now, kissing up to the royals, saying all the right pc friendly things in to the camera, you wouldn't even have heard a peep out of this nandrolone case.

Fury became dispensable when he started talking about the Zionist agenda.

 

Spot on.

 

It's probably another one of the reasons Bellew wants to fight him now. Its not just the layoff and being fat, Bellew also knows he won't be anywhere near as good without the peds! If Bellew could get past the early rounds it wouldn't surprise me if Fury gassed and got knocked out late.

 

Yeah I think he'll decline badly. The Fury's knew that he couldn't replicate what he did that night against Wlad . There's lots of smoke and mirrors with Tyson. I believe he would have got knocked out against the bodybuilder Joshua shortly after anyway. He'll live off that win for the rest of his career/life. You won't see him again in a title fight again, not against Joshua or Wilder, he's terrified of them. Expect him to retire again, when he gets in mandatory position.

 

Mate if you ever experience bipoloar, when you’re really down you’d tell your own mother to fu.ck off, never mind some random tester turning up in the middle of god knows what.

Yes he’s a professional athlete, but any professional athlete is first and foremost a being, flaws,possible illness and all.
