AJ failed a drugs test?

No, I can confirm the rumours are completely false and have been made up.

However, I bet a lot of the British Forum were getting excited of the thought of this being a possibility for some bizarre reason.

 

Why you so defensive over it lol? No one here really cares and know he's finished at the top level anyway whether he tested dirty or not.

Are you Tony Bellew?

 

Many thanks for confirming and clearing this all up. A huge relief for the entire forum.

 

If they charge him with taking PEDs, he can show a film of his last three fights and ask for any evidence of his performance being enhanced.

Hip hip …

 

It is a bit suspect though how he’s suddenly changed his mind about fighting 3 times this year.

 

I don’t know what’s going on here but it’s not nice

 

There doesn’t look like any reputable sources discussing it on Twitter.. however it is interesting how quick you are (someone with associations to MR?) to firefight on these threads.

 

Sadly agree. Joshua getting busted would be terrible for boxing.

 

I don't like him but it would be a an absolute disaster if he did.

 

I long since resigned myself to the idea that all of them are on it. At least, if they have money behind them.

Joshua is such a commercial behemoth, there would've been no expense spared and everything done to give him as many marginal gains as possible.

It's not like Hearn is a beacon of morality about it either - look at his attitude towards recent drug scandals.

As others have said, what would surprise me more is that he got caught. He would have the best team money could buy taking care of that sort of thing.

 

Same. I would be stunned if they messed up the cycle and got caught

 

It is obviously rife - there was no way in hell Fury lost 8 stone in 6 months just by doing circuits with Ben Davison.

I don't have a huge issue with it if both fighters are aware (even if not publically) and are happy to fight anyway. It's far more problematic if it's a prospect who's juicing vs a journeyman who can't afford to.

 

almost every high profile boxer says “I’m gonna get more active” then continues as before, apart from Canelo that one year

 

Thanks for confirming Joe M.
