    I'm no expert but he deserves the benefit of doubt. His tested plenty and has never failed. If anything ones body doesn't tell the whole story.

    Look at Tyson Fury. He didn't look like someone on the juice and then he was caught.

    If you compare fury from 2012 to fury or 2015 it was fairly obvious the change in Physique.

    That was more down to him actually taking things serious though wasn't it rather than being a lazy guy who wouldn't put the work in no?

    Precisely. Sad that it's come to this, But AJ, much like Deontay wilder, has posters who hate them no matter what. AJ could test clean for a year under stringent conditions, and many of these same fools will say he's dirty no matter what. Because Apparently AJ is the first muscular boxer EVER....

    He was never lazy pre 2015 and going off rails after the biggest lotto won against klitchko. He dropped around 10% in bodyfat and gained some muscle

    My reading comprehension.

    AJ is one of the most hated boxers here. Too many idiots feel like they have to 'choose' sides in this.

    Random testing is usually at the fighter/promoters expense...

    Well i certainly "like" him, he's entertaining and the same nationality as me. I just want boxing to be equal as possible.

    UKAD is publicly funded and so no Matchroom and AJ don't pay for the testing unlike US fighters who have to pay for such testing.

    Doesn't mean he's clean though, but he's as clean as any other fighter who hasn't failed a test. But how much does that really mean in a sport which has had plenty of doping scandals of late as more stringent testing has come in and even this more stringent testing by the WBA and the WBC isn't even random all year round and is dependent on the local doping body.

    It's not needed to choose sides, but when it comes to fights with Wilder or Fury, I would definitely root for Joshua.
    That said, I don't trust UKAD at all, certainly not after the whole Fury('s) debacle, in which they clearly opted to let their countrymen get away with it at the expense of foreign fighters.
    Also, Joshua doesn't look anyway near natural and took on so much musclemass in a short amount of time years ago, that it's extremely suspect how it did that. Seems like he pulled a Holyfield rather as having extremely good genes.

    Still, never been caught or found out... until then innocent until proven otherwise.

    He could be natural but I think he'd have to have some genetic disorder like Myostatin muscle hypertrophy.

    His delt developement isn't that big which is usually an indicator of doping, but his biceps are ridiculous, never seen arms like that on any boxer.

    His chest in impressive but nothing out of the ordinary for a well trained athlete.

    His gut protrudes but some people naturally have that where the rib cage naturally extends outwards beyond the sternum. Look at the tennis player Heather Watson, she has this, but I doubt she's on HGH.

    But honestly the chances of him doping are far greater than him being a genetic freak.

    Go on ukad website and check the list of banned substances. Then go onto any online steroid shop and you will find things which ukad do not teat for. Povetkin was banned for meldonium, apparently ukad doesn't test for that. Read into that as you wish.
