    I can’t remember the exact interview but Hearn said VADA checked him 6 times throughout camp.

    It's normaly the case though those that shout loudest at being anti-something are so paranoid as they are doing it themselves and trying to deflect

    Like the cheating wife who convinces herself the husband must be cheating as she is

    Going forward how can they go after anybody now?

    By the sound of it they have been overruled by VADA which if they allow that to happen it completely discredits them as a serious anti doping agency.

    Tris Dixon is hinting that UKAD haven't even confirmed that he failed a test, stating that the media revealed so.

    So by the looks of it UKAD were going to brush it under the carpet and a whistle blower has revealed it to Thomas Hauser.

    That tells me either the whistle blower is lying or he's telling the truth and UKAD and possibly even VADA are getting back handers and are brushing it under the carpet.

    I think this shows the level of corruption all over, which is no real surprise.

    If the story was an outright lie. Surely this would all be cleared up by now? Simple statement the article is a lie, and all parties concerned are now seeking legal action

    There was something like a month between his VADA test and his failed UKAD test so no, not for me.

    He did but I believe Hauser said the testing was extremely minimal.

    You can decide who has proven to be more trustworthy historically

    I suppose given Hauser is a lawyer by trade he would be fairly comfortable with his sources to publish it. Not someone desperately trying to get a name.

    Exactly and Hearn's interest here is to make his fighter sound as good as possible

    Exactly, Mr Whyte isn't exactly the quiet type is he?

    If it was false he'd be going stir crazy and shouting his innocence from the roof tops.

    Instead he's employed the curious tactic of getting an infatuated fan incessantly protest his innocence on Boxingforum24.

    I've just read something that puts a spanner in the works on ESPN, they claim Whyte was tested by VADA on the 17th June and the test was clear.
