    Joshua has been exposed as taking Testosterone under the TUE loop hole. Pulev has definitely failed a test before.

    So it is 6 out of the top 10.

    If Whyte was innocent or anyone in this position for that matter, they'd be shouting from the roof tops

    I've said it before and ill say it again, the silence with this case is deafening

    There's no previous drug ban for Pulev that I can find. I also cannot add AJ to the list via TUE's. We have to be fair here and add them only for drug bans which are on their record.

    yeah I am. There’s absolutely 0 evidence on the TUE’s. So whilst he seems completely innocent he deserves the benefit of the doubt. Especially when there is genuine, found guilty drug cheats out there who get a free pass.

    There has been zero evidence provided but there has also been zero rebuttal from Joshua or his team (there's only one video on YouTube where Hearn laughs off the claims). Afterwards his team made a statement insisting that Joshua has never failed a drugs test but again there was no direct response to the TUE allegation. It's also not just Miller who made the claim, Whyte re-iterated it as well, although yes he may just be regurgitating the claim from Miller.

    Given how murky the whole UKAD affair with Whyte is and the fact that we would have zero knowledge about his issue without the UKAD source leaking it to Hauser, I'd say that without a solid rebuttal there may well be something in the whole TUE thing.

    This is the statement that his team issued after the Ruiz fight when Dillian Whyte made comments expressing his view that Joshua lost because he couldn't dope in the States:

    "That is completely and utterly false. Anthony is one of the most tested athletes in UK sport. Unlike many of his rivals, including Dillian, he has never failed a drugs tested or needed drugs to enhance his performance."

    This is the exact same type of statement that all exposed drug cheats like Lance Armstrong and Marion Jones used to issue. And there was no denial of the TUE allegation either.

    I've said it before but you need to pay attention to the words of these statements. This is the statement that Mo Farah issued after his old coach Salazar was banned for doping his athletes this week:

    "I’m relieved that USADA has, after four years, completed their investigation into Alberto Salazar. I left the Nike Oregon Project in 2017 but as I’ve always said, I have no tolerance for anyone who breaks the rules or crosses a line. A ruling has been made and I’m glad there has finally been a conclusion."

    I mean seriously, what the **** is that? The general public who believe him to be innocent of doping would have expected him to come out and say that he has never used drugs, to condemn Salazar and to insist that he was never provided with drugs when he worked with Salazar. He hasn't though. To any logical, objective observer it is pretty clear that he's not issuing a blanket denial due to the potential legal consequences if he ever is exposed.

    If I have missed something in a video or a statement where Joshua has come out and flat out denied the TUE allegation please bring it to my attention. And before anyone comes out with the "innocent before proven guilty" or "no evidence" stuff again, please, I'm not interested in that type of conjecture. Save that for the sheepish mass public who have never played a sport in their life and have absolutely no clue whatsoever about doping in sport.

    We know he's a lying sack of **** from his own positive test. So maybe a better source would be the first requirement,?

    I wouldn't fancy laying anyone a price that AJ is geared of his nut. But there is absolutely 0 official evidence.
