    Female fertility drugs is a serious statement of intent and maybe he is following in the footsteps of Frank Maloney turning himself into Connie Benn.

    It's a good period of time for Warren. He also has a lot of drug cheats signed up to Queensberry so he has to be careful with his words, like Fury and that Mohammed Ali 2016 olympian who is fighting Ryan Garner next.

    So I was listening to the Boxing News Podcast earlier today. It was stated that the BBBC knew about the failed test as well?
    Shocking state of affairs. Really brings the reputation of the board under scrutiny. Matt Christie was seething. Especially since he and Alex had already recorded one pod already.
    Would love to know the leaker.

    Not defending the board at all, but I imagine Matchroom would have been doing a lot of bullying

    Tony Bellew is completely gone. He is so embarrassing.

    The wisest thing was for Bellew not to comment on anything.

    To be fair Matt alludes to the board being leaned on in his tweets.
    Crikey this would make a cracking doc one day.

    Totally agree.

    This process that we have witnessed this week is going to hurt Eddie Hearn / Matchroom for a long time to come.

    When you ask - in a few years - when things really went wrong for Eddie Hearn, you will think back on this week.

    Ye that will of been the plan. Sign up to make it look like we're clean, spend a load of money too. They'd of been better off saving the cash and just claiming yhat they're signed up to ukad. Most casuals don't have a clue about the drug agency's and ukad would be good enough agency to look like u live and train clean

    UKAD testing is by default if you're fighting under BBBoC isn't it? For whatever that's worth.
    I would be interested to know who suggested/insisted upon additional VADA testing was also included in the contracts ...

    Yeah definitely, although Frank doesn't answer questions that he doesn't want to and comparatively, keeps quite a low profile. He's the polar opposite of Hearn who is always on his soap box and does more interviews than Oprah. Hearn really sets himself up sometimes, if you're constantly running your mouth about everyone and everything, your words will always come back and bite you in the arse.

    Sad state of affairs for all those who knew about this positive test. There’s no getting away from it if you were involved in the cover up.
    I like Eddie Hearn and think he has done a great job, up until now. He and all those involved need to hang their heads in shame.
    How the hell can you ignore a positive test for peds!!! UK Boxing is in a low place right now, imo. Absolutely disgusted.
