    Eddie keeps on talking about Whyte being cleared and proved innocent.
    Being cleared is not the same as being innocent lol.

    Did the B test come back negative?

    Hearn is broken at this point so cannot be trusted and never could. he's a promoter FFS.
    Whyte like most was bang on it. you're an amateur if you get caught these days this is reality in professional sport especially sports that require power or endurance.

    I agree that a lot of these fighters are skirting the rules. But, I'm a bit more cynical and conspiratorial when it comes to why people are failing tests. Personally, I suspect the testing agencies are at times used as a weapon by rival promoters, orgs, and other financially vested interests.

    Wilder v Ortiz
    Wilder v Povetkin
    Wilder v Stivern
    Breazeale v Molina
    Wilder v Whyte
    - Notice which fights went ahead, and which didn't...

    Joshua v Big Baby Miller
    - it was obvious for years this guy was on the sauce, but he gets popped just before Joshua's breakout fight in the US. Huh, a little inconvenient...

    Eubank Jr. v Benn
    - again, who are the winners and who are the losers?

    It's all part of the game

    Yeah I can't really disagree it does seem tactical sometimes.
    I'm not a conspiracy theorist but I've studied this subject for a couple of decades through books and papers.
    It's like Russia getting caught in the Olympics yet the Chinese over a decade start wrecking in many disciplines from nowhere yet it's tumbleweeds for them.
    Professional sport is corrupt and boxing is probably the worst.

    UKADs statement on it.

    "The charge was brought after a sample provided by Mr Whyte on 20 June 2019 indicated the presence of two metabolites of a steroid. UKAD initiated an investigation with which Mr Whyte cooperated fully. UKAD has accepted the explanation provided by Mr Whyte and, in accordance with the UK Anti-Doping Rules, the charge against Mr Whyte has been withdrawn.
    "This would ordinarily mean that UKAD would not make any public statement, in accordance with the applicable confidentiality rules to which UKAD is subject. However, since certain confidential information relating to this matter (including the fact of the initial charge) has unfortunately made its way into the public domain, UKAD and Mr Whyte have agreed to take the unusual step of releasing the following limited information to put an end to speculation concerning Mr Whyte's status.

    In respect of Mr Whyte's drug testing results, the following points are relevant

    • There is nothing in Mr Whyte's longitudinal urinary profile to suggest that he has used steroids.
    • The levels of the metabolites found in Mr Whyte's 20 June 2019 sample were extremely low.
    • Mr Whyte had provided a urine sample to VADA on 17 June 2019, i.e. 3 days before his 20 June 2019 sample, which was tested by a WADA-accredited laboratory and which returned a negative result, including for the metabolites in question.
    • Mr Whyte provided several other doping control samples to UKAD and VADA between 20 June and 20 July 2019 (i.e. the date of his fight with Oscar Rivas) - all of which also tested negative.
    • In light of the above points, the trace amounts of metabolites found in the 20 June 2019 sample are consistent with an isolated contamination event, and they are not suggestive of doping
