    Not sure if it was sanction rules, state rules?

    Mike Tyson popped positive for smoking weed bout with Golota turned from 3rd round win to a NC. Tyson fury popped positive for cocaine, yet his win over Wlad wasn't over-turned.


    What was the difference in determining how one drug overturned a win, but not the other?

    He popped for cocaine in the build up of the rematch, not for the first fight.

    Times are changing. Neither is a PED.

    He was caught on nandrolone for the Hammer fight, which obviously should have been overturned and actually was for a brief moment.
    But for Wlad II (which never happened) he got busted for coke and outright refused to be tested when they turned up at his home shortly after (refused test counts as a failed test by WADA rules).

    They went out of their way to time the 2 year retroactive ban after the Wlad fight, so they didn't have to overturn that.

    Thanks for correcting me. I knew there were 2 tests he failed both A & B samples. SO when I did a search with the word drugs not PED, Mike Tyson popped up & thought hey! He got his win changed for weed...but not Fury for nose candy.

    My bad!!!!

    In your defence my friend, so many have been popped for all sorts from Mexican Hamburgers to Cocaine.

    I would name them all but it would take a while to remember them all and check.
