Robert Helenius fails Drugs Test

Big Jerk Knew

 

Are we sure the tests were the right way around and the labels weren't swapped?

 

Listening to these Delboy interviews, he cannot be allowed to fight again, bloke sounds horrendous

 

When you are tested the tests are taken and sealed straight away, for the tests to be swapped you are counting on a tester being corrupt which is extremely unlikely.

However in this case I can see your point.

What's interesting in this is that of it is clomiphene then its either Eddie's worst nightmare or its his dream scenario depending on how he plays it.

 

Chisora almost sounding as punchy as James Toney

 

I don't really see the issue with using Clomid as a testosterone booster tbh. You'll never raise your test levels outside of the normal range due to the negative feedback loop; and, if you have low testosterone to start with, your raised levels when taking Clomid might not be as a high as your opponent who could have naturally very high testosterone.

Increasing your testosterone to a level still within the normal range will not have a profound impact on strength, power, muscle mass, endurance and the like. It will be very minimal at best. It's not going to turn you into a killer knockout artist not do anything for your skill, heart, chin etc.

Of course, as a masking agent it is not a good thing at all.

 

I think the main reason it is banned is because its an indication of further usage. When coming off a cycle you need something to level up your testosterone.

 

That's right......its everybody else's fault. 'Victimroom'

 

They can’t report the failed tests of the opponents of their fighters quick enough.

Even the other week when one of their fighters (Baumgardner) failed a test it was leaked by a journalist. Matchroom didn’t report it.

Matchroom’s interests in a fight:

Whyte v Rivas - kept quiet and fight went ahead
Benn v Eubank - kept quiet until media leaked it
Baumgardner - kept quiet until media leaked it

Opponents of Matchroom’s main interest:

Miller v Joshua - reported and fight off
Whyte v Joshua - reported and fight off
Cusumano - reported straight away
Helenius - reported straight away

 

Tests can take ages to return findings. You said it yourself, it was a bog standard drug test.
