    Interesting statement. I wonder if a drink driver could claim that they did not knowingly ingest the alcohol as a credible excuse. If rulings are based on a fighter not knowing then there is no point in testing. If they let a banned substance get into their system it is their own fault. The good news is that fans will not let him off the hook so easily.

    Doesn’t the WBC clearing him just mean that he can take part in WBC sanctioned bouts but he still needs a boxing license to box since he currently doesn’t have one?

    Can someone explain the BBBofC position?

    Didnt he pass all THEIR tests? So what grounds do they have for not giving him a license?

    Also, werent they going to let the fight go ahead just fine before it his positive tests got into the media?

    The answer is YES!

    Thousands of documented cases of "auto brewery syndrome" individuals have been cleared of DUI/drink driving charges as they didn't drink; their bodies naturally make booze
