    Yeah it's ongoing but the point is Tommy Hauser said he tested positive for 2 dianabol substances, so surely Whyte would've been banned immediately, why has Hauser put up this false information

    The fight proceeded to limit the grounds for Team Whyte/Hearn to file a lawsuit. But it was done in such a way that Rivas was given reason to sue.

    You don't know it's false.

    Compare for example the alacrity with which Hearn confirmed that Joshua would be taking an immediate rematch - literally when Joshua was still concussed - to the deafening silence over this.

    True, i was going to add is Dianabol actually a specified substance rather than prohibited? Which he had trace amounts of. Maybe someone can clarify that

    Dbol will 100% be a prohibited, it's pretty much as PE as you can get for a pro boxer.

    Well yeah one thing that has come out in the past couple of days - one of the few specific claims made by the Whyte camp - was the Dianabol metabolites claim was wrong. Can't remember where I saw this, though.

    Perhaps these pre-fight hearings are more commonplace than we think - where marginal fails are dealt with in secret - and the unusual aspect here is someone broke cover and went public?

    Anti-doping is supposed to be transparent. Everything till now is the opposite of transparent. Whatever the heck is going on with UKAD/BBBoC, it reeks! Also, I can't see how it's wrong if they found metabolites. Unless someone pulled those out of their ass. Though, I can see the possibility that he used some China sourced PEDs and got a surprise gift.

    The more I think about it, the target of this leak wasn't Whyte - he was just the next cab off the rank - but UKAD and their malpractice. Whyte is a big enough name to make waves but not so big it harmed British boxing.

    The biggest thing to me was ,this test was 5 weeks before the fight. When did VADA test him? Must of been after because that was clear and whyte did say on the hot mic " 2 tests in 2 days" it's all clear as mud this. But I'm reserving judgment until all the facts are out in the open

    Could be he finished flushing the next day. Or doubled down on flushing after UKAD showed up.

    Bottom line, he has metabolites in his system that could only have come from taking anabolic steroids.

    Well clearly he provided enough evidence to allow them to clear him to fight.

    That all has to come out soon.

    If the facts were ever gonna come out they’d be out by now. No one is ever going to reveal the facts. They’ll keep it quiet until it’s not a hot topic anymore

    It hasnt been confirmed what was in his system and also VADA were testing throughout camp. You'd think if VADA are thorough enough to catch Canelo, who whilst I'm not saying is cheating, certainly has more clout than Whyte does, they'd catch Whyte. Also, the panel that cleared Whyte were an independent panel, unaffiliated with boxing. There has to be a good reason why they cleared him and that's the key piece of information that is missing.

    Why does it amaze you? Bbboc take their lead from UKAD who, after being presented with the results of the independent panel, cleared Whyte to fight. Bbboc can't then stop him fighting because he's not banned. This isn't difficult, I don't know why so many people get confused. Unlike VADA, UKAD has sanctioning powers. He would have been banned if clearly exonerating evidence was not presented.
