Does Tyson Fury get a pass for being a drugs cheat?

He shouldnt but he has...

Yes he was out of the ring for those years but the lack of transparency and the overall way it was handled stinks in my view.

 

After Molina got popped it looks pretty certain there all at it. Looks to me like their all using but Joshua is on the superpills.

 

That's why the whole "lineal champion" thing is a joke. His Klitschko win is clearly tainted. No wonder he didn't want any part of a rematch, which had both fighters signed up to VADA testing, unlike the first fight.

No doubt. Just look at the reaction to Canelo's test and his reasoning for the failed test compared to Fury.

Fury announced his return and there was very little discussion or even questions to him about his failed drug test.

 

these are my thoughts also, if he had been told he'd "failed", then he definitely wouldnt get a pass, but as it was just elevated levels, and UKAD confirmed that, i agree on stalemate.

 

BS.

If his as innocent as he claims then no reason to accept a 2 year backdated ban.

If he believes his innocent then why allow

The win over Christian Hammer to be officially disqualified. “All titles, prize money and ranking points that [Fury] secured as a result of his victory in that fight are forfeited,” the Ukad statement read.

The result of this fight will now likely be changed to a no-contest.

Fury is a no better position than Canelo. If anything worse. Canelo provided receipts for the meat he ate as well as doing a hair follicle test trying to clear his name.

Fury just dragged out the legal process as long as possible hoping it would go away.

 

theres no point saying "bull****" coz UKAD have already said it. he accepted the backdated ban coz he just wanted to get back in the ring, thats clear to see and UKAD were haemorrhaging money. if it was as clear cut as you make it out to be, UKAD wouldnt have got to that position in the first place.

and a hair follicle test means absolutely nothing as they are completely u
inaccurate, and especially inaccurate when it comes to clenbuterol. this is a test that is supposed to show what is in your system from as far back as 6 months, yet when it came round to Canelo taking his test, the clen had suddenly disappeared.

 

The result stands. The BBBoC do not retrospectively alter results.

 

Clear cut in the sense he failed a test and then missed a test.

The same people that ride on Canelo can't not ride on Fury. They used the same defence.

 

its not clear cut at all, he never failed a test according to UKAD, just had elevated levels. i was reading the UKAD statements and even they dont seem to have a clue what went on. and they ended up withdrawing the refusal charge in the end

i guess you meant the opposite with your double negative at the end, so, yes, it was the same defence, but different context. Canelos own trainer used to be a butcher, he's from mexico so he knows the issues with the meat, and being a boxer he shouldve been watching what he puts in his body anyway

 

Elevated levels were confirmed in both Tyson and Hughie Fury and were consequently blamed on uncastrated wild boar meat, however what stank more was Tyson then refusing to take a drugs test in the build up to the ill fated Klitschko rematch when visited by UKAD officials, whom he told to f*** Off.

 

What questions can journos legitimately ask, particularly if Fury deems it off limits for conversation? There would be legal consequences if articles were written which overstepped the mark, particularly as UKAD did not / would not pursue the case. There is a big gap between what journalists have very strong suspicions about, and what they feel legally able to publish. The ink is dry on damning doping articles about sports stars even more prominent than Fury, that will probably never see the light of day for legal reasons.

Regardless of what happened with the Furys, the real hard questions should be about how UKAD managed to make such a complete arse of the situation. They were obviously in a compromised position due to how they handled the case, which does nothing to inspire confidence in their ability to regulate and enforce.
