Dillian Whyte tests positive for banned substance

Wasn't Whyte enrolled in VADA 365 program though? Is that different than VADA testing?

 

If, and it’s still and if at this stage, Whyte has been on the PEDs and Hearn has allowed the fight to go ahead then I can’t see everyone moving on. Will be hugely damaging to all involved, could be a bit of a milestone regarding anti-doping measures...

 

No. For letting a fight go ahead without informing the opponent when an A sample has come back positive.

Surely they've caught people in pre fight tests before?

 

Mad how you joined this forum on Saturday after the PPV and that your first posts were to defend Hearn and to also argue that the PPV was a good show.

Mad how people still insist that this forum is not infiltrated by Matchroom spastics.

 

Hearn said "Whyte was cleared to fight by BBBofC" which is interesting because Billy Joe was also cleared by the BBBofC.

 

As I was inferring , has he been 'caught' yet or is he only 'caught' once the B sample has backed up the A?

According to the 2 testing bodies and the BBBC he could fight on so I would say the latter in this case, was there a legal obligation for Eddie to let Team Rivas know there might be a problem, who knows ? But you can guarantee Matchroom's legal team will have been all over this and its not just Eddie doing as he pleases.

 

The anti Hearn / Matchroom / Joshua posts on here far outweigh anything else. It ain’t half boring reading Hearn getting the blame for every aspect of some people’s lives...

Either way as per my last post if Hearn and Whyte are guilty of what you’re obviously in the know about then they and Matchroom are royally ****ed.

 

But he was denied a licence by the Massachusetts State Athletic Commission.

 

My costing was in reference to promoters in addition to VASA, USAD, UKAD etc setting up in house testing and someone said its not possible cos it costs 30k a test. It wouldnt cost anywhere near that to do proper in house testing for your own fighters.

UFC testing is joke, Dillashaw was busted for EPO....a drug that is massively beneficial when it comes to endurance sports, HUGE benefits. A drug that they didnt look for !! They were informed that he was on it and therefore tested for it and then busted him. For such a popular and beneficial drug not to be even looked for is a complete farce

 

I got that, not disputing that. I just want to know if this is the first that we've heard about this happening?

 

The BBBofC has no jurisdiction over Boston so was completly irrelevant.

 

its amazing how much background info you have into this forum and its tendencies for someone that just joined !

 

First we've heard , probably, first time its happened not a hope in hell.

Any updates? I was talking about this news early this morning and a friend of mine who isn't a big boxing fan asked me this question..

"What's the point of pre fight drug tests in boxing if a fighter can fail one and still fight and get paid"?
