Dillian Whyte tests positive for banned substance

Hearn tells Fino Boxing that he couldn’t pull the fight if both fighters are cleared to fight. Make of that what you will.

Pressure.

 

Man I wish I could have been in the interviewer’s position, on God I would have made a mug out of Hearn.

Firstly, when Hearn was making the argument that UK test all fighters and asking the interviewer “what does America do for testing?”, if the interviewer was actually informed he could have said “well actually no Eddie, Miles Shinkwin has just come out and said he has barely been tested as a pro and Curtis Woodhouse as well said he’d been tested three times in his whole career.

Secondly why is no one asking Eddie why he said it was the “miracle of all miracles” that the fight went ahead?

Again, no denial that there was a failed test.

All these interviewers are ****ing dossers. Idiots with cameras.

 

Hearn completely rattled. He knows everything he's said in recent weeks has come back to bite him. He's been proved to be an extremely selfish liar.

"Why were the fighters cleared to fight?" he keeps repeating to an American journalist who obviously hasn't a clue of the answer - how would he know? They were cleared to fight because UKAD's appeals policy is a disgrace. Once again no denial of PED use.

I hope Hearn is exposed in the media big time for this farce. He's really annoying me now. The hypocrisy overload has reached unprecedented levels for this one and I want him shown up for what he is.

 

Absolutely pathetic when Hearn has to resort to asking an interviewer a question he knows he cannot answer.

But again the interviewer should have cited Floyd and USADA and Lance Armstrong as well burying a failed test. All these doping agencies can be bought.

I’m really glad people are opening their eyes to how much of a crook Hearn is. Previously pro Matchroom posters in the General forum have been tearing into Hearn.

 

Unbelievable

I do think the question of pulling the fight is directed to wrong person here. It's not Hearns responsibility to pull a fight. The bboc should be the ones answering why they allowed the fight to happen.

That barbershop interview confirms that no B sample. B sample or hearing. Cleared at hearing and now we really must now why the doping panel cleared Whyte at the hearing?

Is cross contamination possible?

Tested 3 times in 2 days by the same lab. First two clear third one dirty? I'm no expert but is this the reason why Whyte could argue his case?

 

Are they idiots, or like to earn a few quid

 

This is one of the darkest periods in British boxing. B scene (owned by cbs) have exposed British boxing here. Hearn tried to take on Haymon and is now getting demolished

 

If there was no B sample tested and they 'cleared him to fight' surely no sanctions will be forthcoming. He is gonna get away with it

 

People need to stop putting the blame on Hearn.

The blame lays solely on the feet of the user - Dillian Whyte.

Then we have pathetic organisations like UKAD and the BBBoC who actually still sanctioned the fight, didn’t inform Rivas or the WBC - allegedly.

Then lastly we have Hearn who has done something morally wrong but we know all these promoters have no morals anyway.

Whyte seems to be getting off lightly on here, UKAD and the BBBoC extremely lightly too (even Frank pointed these out) and Hearn taking the brunt.

 

I think people are being too harsh on Hearn. He has fifrty interviews a week with chumps like this, who try to provoke. How the hell he keeps his composure is beyond me.

 

Yeah this is a problem. Depending on the details of the breach he should be looking at jettisoning Whyte if he wants to retain any semblance of credibility in regards to PEDs.

 

He does choose to do them all. I'd sack off every go-pro toting Kugan wannabe waaaaay before they got within 50 yards of me.

 

Does anyone know why an athlete would use Dianabol, Nandrolone or any of these old school compounds? There cant be many professional athletes, who are subject to testing, who don't know that you will pop for these things if you are subject to testing. Surely someone like Whyte would be able to access the latest pharmaceutical-grade PEDs if he wanted to?

Whyte is training at Loughborough, one of the top sports science facilities there is. He is undergoing random testing from UKAD and apparently VADA. Do we have some sort of Soviet-era doping system going on in the UK with our sportspeople?

Maybe the approach being taken needs to be looked at again and a different approach is taken. Prohibition never works and leaves too many questions about individual sporting achievements. In my view, it is better to have things in the open. At the moment it is all innuendo about who is/ isn't using what substance. I also feel that everyone involved with the athlete, the coaching team, the promoter etc should share responsibility for ensuring the athlete is staying within the rules of the sport.

For someone like Whyte there is a team who are earning money from his efforts. He could be left with his career in ruins and out of the sport while those around him who advise, monitor and train him can move on to the next meal ticket.
