UKAD isn’t fit for purpose. Been corrupt for many years, and can easily bend the rules when it suits, as seen with Froome, Farah, Wiggins etc The simple fact you fail a test, then lodge an appeal so you can keep going like nothing ever happened is just ridiculous. Ruiz already saying he won’t come over here. Doubt any top sportsman will when UKAD are involved now
Considering how he suddenly went 12 good rounds 2ith no stamina issues despite being heavy it's no real shock Dullian PED Shyte will hopefully cop a 2 year ban and feck off for a while the shitty ppv mugs con man
Zero tolerance, I don't give a toss if it came from a eyedrop, if it's on the ban list then it's a failed test. We can't have it any other way. If we make allowances and excuses for certain substances then it's open to abuse. We are talking top level boxing, top level fighters, top level trainers, sports science, all sorts of reasons not to take anything on a ban list.
Whyte's reputation will be in tatters and rightly so. It'll be interesting to see how Hearn spins it cos I can't see him just dropping Whyte when he's one of his very few 'PPV fighters' but we'll need to wait and hear more details but it will be hard for Hearn to defend him without sounding like a hypocrite no matter what. If he's failed a test, he's failed a test, there's no excuses, he's in the top league of his profession and has a team of people behind him to make sure accidents and mistakes can't happen. I must say I'm really disappointed with Whyte here. I had started to like him over the last couple of years, and he was/is getting better all the time. Maybe the PEDs had something to do with that though.
Hearn is definitely shifting the blame onto the bodies by the sounds of things. If they did clear the fight then the main issue is whether Whyte and Co knew or not? It must be a rule for those bodies to allow a fight to be cleared if they’re waiting for a B sample which is messed up.
If true as it sounds Hearn has badly damaged his reputation and if it was a PED Whyte was on whilst in the ring he should get a lifelong ban.
Haha you couldn’t make it up. After years of wanting to be mandatory, the second he does it he’s a drugs cheat. Zero tolerance. Ban cheats for life.
Everyone is on stuff I am not all disappointed in Whyte. This is an issue in that someone in his team messed up somewhere. I am sure deonkey will use this as an excuse to not fight him. “I don’t fight drugs cheats”
DMAA is not in ANY over the counter supplement any more. It gave me pure euphoria when I used Warrior Blaze about 7 years ago. Was an amazing feeling, absolute bliss! Ha
