    you guys are all assuming enzo mac excuse is real and true, well it probably aint .nearly all sporstman who get caught come out with the same bollacks like i didnt know or i take a cold remedy my guess is that enzo mac has been doin this for along time and this aint the only thing he took basically hes a cheat and enzo clazaghe feels let down and has every right to be , the fact joe snorts charlie is of little relevance as its not performancing enchancing and infact is quiet the opposite and im sure his old man said at the time joe has let himself down.
    i know everyones gona dig this post out but i honestly think a guy who has trained a fighter of the caliber of joe, got numerous fighters like rees pyrce and enzo mac to over achieve is entitled to make the staement he has

    His own trainer doesn't believe him. Fighters not checking thoroughly what is going in their body is a joke.

    A fighter shouldn't take anything, I'd get a legally binding letter from each company saying it is clean. Get another legally binding letter from the doctor. Hell, run a mock test.

    Didn't he say it was a fat burner product. Are we supposed to believe he used a fat burner to move up from 175 to 200? How many PEDs was he taking to make 175 then!?!?!

    I think this is abit harsh from Enzo Calzaghe, even though he took a banned substance! Its was only a weight stripping substance, which in the end! was a ******ed thing to do, and did not benefit him! Because down at 175 he was depleted and weak.

    "If Enzo mac would of been caught taking Epo & Testosterone, then i would understand Enzo Calzaghe's actions"......

    But even still, he has kind of mugged off Enzo Calzaghe.

    I think sports fans generally are just incredibly naive when it comes to this subject..

    I read it, I believe him, I also believe Dodson when he had his hiccup.
    This is ESB though, the forefront of PED expertise, can't argue with them.

    If it's in The Sun it's just as likely they made that all up. How do you know? Who knows what Enzo is saying to quote him accurately?

    By Enzo Maccarinelli

    Following my fight against Shane McPhilbin in March, I was extremely surprised and disturbed to have tested positive for a banned substance known as methylhexaneamine.

    I purchased a product called Dexaprine that contained this banned substance from a combat magazine. The advert stated that it was an approved substance and I checked the ingredients which had no reference to any banned substance that I was aware of. In fact, it also stated that it was suitable for athletes.

    I have since found out that this ‘fat burner’ contained a substance and consequently I failed a dope test, albeit with a very low reading.

    I wish to state that this substance was in no way used to gain any advantage in the ring or enhance my performance and whilst I appreciate that it may look that way, I would certainly never cheat or cut corners in my preparation.

    I have been tested over 20 times in my career and have never failed any random or post fight doping test, but on this occasion, due to my naivety, I have tested positive for a banned substance.

    I was contacted by UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) and helped them with their investigations, where I gave them both the product that I had taken, the container and also the advert from which I ordered these supplements.

    The explanation I gave which is reflected accurately in their formal decision is evidence that my intention was not to knowingly take a banned substance or to gain an unfair advantage in competition.

    I am very conscious of my reputation within the sport of boxing and even prior to the decision, that has been released today, I promised to fully accept any punishment that was given as a result of this positive test.

    Furthermore, I voluntarily vacated my British Cruiserweight Championship so to allow my opponent, Shane McPhilbin, the opportunity to rechallenge for it whilst I serve my 6 months suspension, as I could not bear the thought of holding such a prestigious championship if anyone thought that I hadn’t won it fairly.

    I have volunteered to assist UKAD in any way I can to prevent other boxers or sportsmen from being put in the same situation as I currently find myself in due to the availability of what appear to be perfectly legitimate supplements and manufacturers not making it clear on their products that they contain banned substances.

    UKAD have accepted my offer and I am determined to ensure, along with the British Boxing Board of Control that the awareness of such supplements is enhanced and others do not have to face the humiliation that I now have to.

    I would like to thank UKAD for their understanding and support in this matter and their punishment which I hope reflects the honesty in which I approached this situation.

    I would further like to thank Robert Smith of the BBBofC for his support and apologize to everyone involved in boxing for any stain on our great sport.
