    The only thing that might be a lie or at least inaccurate is the substance Whyte has been reported to have failed for. I don’t think there’s any doubt now that Whyte gave a positive test for some sort of banned substance.

    The UKAD one was in July though, no? I don't see that it changes anything

    If it was a less hardcore substance wouldn't you say he has never failed for Dianabol?

    UKAD was 17th June, VADA was 17th of July apparently, strangely enough the same day it was revealed he had failed a test.

    No it was 17th June, two days after the supposed clear VADA test.

    Everything I read said it was July for UKAD, that's why the hearing was around the time of the fight as opposed to being a bit more beforehand

    Facts- You have Hauser...a former lawyer, respected author and respected journalist who we all know wouldn’t release a story without credible sources.

    Spin- “It’s just some article, from some journalist with no facts”, “only 50% of it is correct” etc.

    Fact- Adverse finding from sample A

    Spin- “but they cleared him to fight, Koogs, surely Whyte produced some evidence in that meeting that led to them clearing him to fight. Let the facts come out then judge him”. “But all the VADA tests came back clear, Koogs”.

    Facts: UKAD is a professional anti-doping organisation with whom the BBBofC adhere to their rules & regulations. VADA are also a professional outfit but you have to be signed up to it and it has no authority to suspend/ban fighters.

    Spin: WBC are affiliated with VADA so UKAD are pretty much irrelevant and who are they anyway, VADA are well better etc etc.

    Facts: They did not tell Rivas’s team that Whyte had a adverse finding in his sample. They had a secret meeting and cleared Whyte to fight.

    Spin: “but he was cleared to fight, Koogs”. Business business business.

    Facts: Whyte wore completely different gloves to those checked and signed off by Rivas’s team. Rivas’s team were denied the opportunity ‘before and after’ to check those gloves by the BBBofC in direct violation of their own rules and regulations.

    Spin: “Koogs, these things sometimes happen, they were checked by the BBBofC, it was all fine, the BBBofC are light years ahead of other boxing commissions when it comes to fighter safety”.



    Basically, fans of Whyte are happy to soak up the spin and discredit the facts. However, if this was a fighter like say Wilder, they would then soak up the facts and discredit the spin. What i’ve learnt during all this is that UKAD have no backbone, the BBBofC are incompetent and Hearn is a brilliant promoter of spin and is an even bigger c*** than I ever thought.

    As for Whyte, he’s been on the steds (again). He’s not the only one, nearly all of them are unfortunately at it.

    He’s guilty IMO. THe stories don’t add up and the mass panic with the statements etc just scream guilt to me. Added to the fact it was Hauser who reported it, not just any random. Boxing, the most corrupt business in the world...

    I think they were hoping it would've went away by now and been swept under the carpet. I believe he's guilty but it wouldn't surprise me if the right amount of money was put in the right peoples pockets and this all went away... Seems fishy that there has been no details about the B sample since, time is ticking.

    If AJ loses rematch Whyte is Matchrooms best chance of getting amongst the HW titles in the next year or so.

    They just don’t have the financial clout to justify their science. The mere threat of having to deal with a fighters lawyers has them hiding under a stone frightened to death of being sued. It’s happened a number of times now with a few high profile fighters. It’s a systematic failure.

    They haven't been overruled by anyone as of yet. Surely it ultimately lies with BBBofC to make the official suspension and they work with UKAD
