    Cheers. I wondered about that, I think John Ruiz got his title back when James Toney tested positive after their fight.

    I think it's a positive (no pun intended) thing for the sport that more of the cheaters get filtered out now. That also means that the boxers you like might get caught on something, and you'd just have to deal with that without tons of excuses.
    What I do want to see, is that they get an appropriate ban, so not just 3 or 6 months like we see too often in the US, which isn't really a ban at all.
    Results should be quickly overturned if they won, and any belts returned.

    Also, I believe that they all deserve a second chance, but after that all bets are off.

    Browne I don't really want o see punished with a too long ban IMO, he seems like a likeable guy. But Sturm I hope gets a solid 2 year ban, he really deserves it after being so ****y with his robberies in the last couple years.

    I believe he wanted to retire after the Chudinov match. If he gets stripped, you will never see him back.

    Cycling is different. In cycling power is measured as a function of weight over time, dropping a pound of weight improves your time over the course by a *minute for ex. Boxing isn't anything like that, but still there could gains from trimming excess fat sure but that's more a universal thing.


    The problem I have is with haters not giving guys a chance to dispute their cases. If/after the ruling is official then yea go ahead and tar and feather em but not before.

    Felix Sturm eh? Well, he can't claim he was in hostile and corrupt territory like Browne and won by robbery anyway so I wouldn't mind him finally being taken out of the WBA title picture.

    The way he ducked GGG was an example of everything that has been wrong with the middleweight division in recent years.

    Actually I'm 100% sure Clenbuterol that his food was laced with had ZERO to do with Big Daddy disconnecting Chagaev from his senses.:good

    As a former bodybuilder, I want to slap you.
    Clenburterol is a steroid and with good reason. Do you know how many people die a year from over consumption and incorrect usage?

    Have you ever used it? Sounds like another one of the 'educated' internet experts defending Browne.

    I suggest you look at its other effects, other than it fat burning properties.

    If Browne did use it, good riddance. I hope he gets slapped with the book. Just like any other PED using 'athlete'.

    Too early to call Browne a steroid cheat. His story rings true. Hopefully more detailed tests will be made and vindicate him. It was an exciting fight that added something to the division, and I hope the results stand.

    ring water on fight night!!

    BILD reporting that Sturm has a deadline set by the WBA for May 9th to prove his innocence beyond a reasonable doubt, otherwise he will lose the belt and face a 1 year national and 2 year international ban.

    Good news all around. Looks like the belt will head to Russia after May 9th and justice prevails once again!
