Dillian Whyte tests positive for banned substance

Yeah but UK aint Colombia

Crap analogy... UK get some stuff wrong but you wont find another country in the world with as many policies and regulations as us

 

Is like the 5yo argument against fox hunting

"How would you like it if you were chased by people on horses with guns...."

 

He says 'I have to keep my hair for some reason' clearly confused and you think it's his plan?

OK Anna. Cool story.

 

Not really. He is just making the point about all these people who are defending Hearn and Whyte. If the shoe was on the other foot your Bellews of the world wouldn't be off social media calling for Rivas to be hung. It's hypocrisy at its finest.

Nobody can deny this is all shady as ****. That can't even be debated.

If he was innocent then surely they would come out and say it's all rubbish and we will be taking legal action against certain parties.

That hasn't happened

 

I’d have more confidence in winning a split decision against Pablo Escobar in Medellin than the UK authorities/promoters getting their act together over PED use.

 

Give over mate if the shoe was on the other foot you would be losing your mind over this. It's a disgrace what went down

 

I am in no way defending them, it looks bang suspect. But just saying I hate these kind of comments the opposing side is always going to be livid

 

You should go move to colombia then and see how long you last

 

If Rivas knew and he knew whyte got cleared he would still taken fight

 

"Cleared"

Could just be failed A no time to test B before fight so you can still take the bout.

Rivas may not have fancied that

 

Not sure what statement you read from DW but that’s exactly what he did say !

 

That’s not exactly what he says though is it .

 

It's disgusting that people are defending this.
I'm not even saying Dillian Whyte is the problem, he probably took the PEDs, yeah it is cheating, but I don't care about that .... and Eddie Hearn is a hypocrite but I can't blame him for doing all he can to prevent his PPV show being cancelled. He has partners customers and investers and fighters who rely on him too, as well as his own self interest. It's understandable what Whyte and Hearn (probably) did.

I'm talking about the policies of the UKAD and the BBBoC, who must take the brunt of responsibility.
They are shady as ****.
The lack of transparency. The loopholes. The secrecy.
The Tyson Fury nandrolone case was bad enough and I said all along that the real issue with that case wasn't whether Fury was a drug cheat or not, or whether he was punished too severely or whether he got away with a slap on the wrist ..... no the real issue was the conduct and secrecy and shady practices of the UKAD system, where fighters were allegedly failing tests but not being charged for 15 months, and who knows how many cases have been lost or swept under the carpet ?? (it was only when Fury became a public hate figure due to foolish statements and sexist jokes that UKAD remembered to charge him !)
....
.... and this latest case is even worse. He fails a test BEFORE the fight, no on outside of Whyte's team, Matchroom and the BBBoC is informed of this. The fight goes ahead and the whole thing only came to light this week because someone obviously leaked the information to a well-known dilligent journalist.
Without Hauser spilling the beans, this thing might well have never seen the light of day.
So, again, who knows how many similar instances have occurred in the UK ???

It's disgusting, clearly. Shameful.

 

Absolutely.

Managing Director of Klitschko Management Group and former Klitschko Manager Bernd Boente has reacted to the current drug testing saga involving Dillian Whyte in the United Kingdom. Whyte is alleged to have tested positive for metabolites of a banned substance Dianabol. But even so, was allowed to fight and defeat Oscar Rivas at the O2 Arena in London. A hearing was hastily set-up to convene over events. Whyte was subsequently cleared by UKAD and the British Boxing Board of Control to enter the ring. Uproar has since erupted in the UK given the nature of the way Whyte, his team and the authorities kept the information from Rivas and his promoter Yvon Michel. Boente felt as though the situation was similar to the one Wladimir Klitschko experienced before losing his world heavyweight titles to Tyson Fury in Germany back in 2015. “The Dillian Whyte scandal has reminded me how the BBBofC and UKAD treated us before Wladimir‘s fight versus Fury,” Boente exclusively told World Boxing News. “Both organizations knew about Fury‘s positive doping test in the Hammer fight. Neither of them had told us or the involved governing bodies (WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO) anything before the fight. “Had we known this before, we would have insisted on VADA testing in the weeks leading up to the fight.”

 

And do you know the most hilarious thing about all of this? UKAD is a government funded body. Which means we pay for the privilege of what we are seeing here.

We pay with our taxes to fund them and we pay via our TV's and subscriptions to buy the fights - not to mention what we pay in disappointment and frustration.
