Artur Beterbiev had an “atypical finding" for test and HGH

It’s always hilarious seeing the usual US gronks trying to point the finger at any successful fighter from another country when the US is riddled with drug cheats.

 

Not to mention all the "Ivan Drago" jokes or constantly mentioning the Russian Olympic team as though it wasn't just a political game between two governments at odds with another (like the recent banning of Russian athletes due to Ukrainian conflict)

 

From what I understand, VADA use carbon isotope ratio testing to determine if testosterone is endogenous or exogenous?

So they should be able to tell if the testosterone that they have found to be at an unnaturally higher level is produced by his body naturally (endogenous), or is exogenous testosterone that has been injected/taken orally.

 

USA is PED Factory.

 

Russia was not the only country with a state sponsored doping program.

China today probably has a massive doping program, but they own everything so nobody dares go against them. America had state and private doping programs in the 80's, 90's and 2000's, as in letting drug offenders compete in the olympics despite ped use (see Dr Exum Wade against the Olympic committee). Cuba, East Germany and the Soviet Union come to mind as well. What makes you think no other country can have a doping program?
Private doping programs would be something like the Balco scandal. Cycling and Athletics, baseball also had their private doping programs, as in not state sponsored but entity supported. When did the NFL start testing for HGH? How about Jamaican mass doping in track and field? Iranian doping in weightlifting and wrestling? Doping in boxing in the 90's and 80's?

 

What helmet said that serge, expose them.

 

I know right, every single American I know is on peds. Even the American math Olympiad team is on steroids. Even your average American golf player is on steroids. Heck I'm on steroids and I'm American as apple pie.

 

Yep and you have IV Floyd telling reporters Inoue needs to come to the US for proper testing meanwhile they have a guy like Devin Haney who can somehow put on 11KG’s over night lol noting sus about that.

 

When Floyd was being hailed for years as P4P # 1 or Ward was, they never brought up their home advantage which is far more true. Inoue never needed judges or refs to help him out where as Floyd & Ward definitely did like against Castillo, Kovalev etc. Inoue's fights hardly ever go to the judges & in Japan the sanctioning bodies try to ensure both judges & refs are neutral. So what big advantage?

If anything judges & refs seem to only hinder him like the ref who blocked him from KO'ing Donaire in their first fight or the judge who scored it 114-113 (meaning the knockdown is what prevented him from making that fight a draw lol)

No American fighter has the mainstream presence in US that Inoue has in Japan

Was Terry's mug all over NYC metro & Times square? Inoue's was in equivalent scenario

Inoue is 1 of a handful of fighters that can sell out a stadium on his own star power alongside Canelo, Fury, & AJ. So obviously most of his fights are gonna be in Japan & his opponents seem happy enough to go there to make money that is unheard of for their weight classes

This lack of American worship (which as you point out exists outside US as well) is 1 more reason why I like Opetaia, unlike Tszyu who seems eager to go to Vegas Jai said his dream is to have fights at Gosford stadium to showcase Australian boxing to the world & he doesn't want to do what everyone has already done
